For Service to Racing Car Transmissions.Hewland Engineering have been designing and manufacturing gearboxes and transaxles for racing cars world-wide, since the 1960's. I am Hewland's agent in the English Midlands.
My service is backed by experience of Hewland products going back to 1973. I offer a personal service for Hewland competition gearboxes. By 'personal', I mean that I will always consider your individual requirements, and after inspecting your gearbox I will consult with you fully before continuing with the work. Most of my work is servicing the popular 'classic' transaxles such as Mark 3/4/5/6/8/9, FT200, FG400, DG300, LG500 & 600 ranges, but also covering the current sequential units, from a full overhaul to small adjustments, or the supply of gearboxes, gear ratios (new and second hand), spares, gearing information and gear charts. I am sorry, but I do not take card payment.
My workshop is located at Clifton Avenue, Long Eaton, NG10 2GA, which is 5 miles from M1 junction 24, 3 miles from M1 junction 25, 4 miles from A50 and 8 miles from Donington Park Race Circuit. Callers are welcome, but please by prior arrangement.
AVAILABLE NOW FT200 gearbox second hand, early 4-lug main case, 9/31CWP, spool differential, 6-bolt output flanges. Spares include part worn C&P differential, input shaft, some ratios and release bearing carriers.
