Leadership Team RogNeedham Posted January 14, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted January 14, 2010 a long shot i know. On behalf of a friend who is restoring a 1972MGB which he's planning to turn into more of a Sebring spec. According to him (and he's far more technically competent than I) - he cannot use the 5 speeder from a Range Rover/Defender due to configuration for the transfer box etc. Also he knows the box was fitted to LDV vans but the bell housing is wrong.... Apparently the Rover SD1 Vitesse was the ideal configuration so anyone know of hoards of V8 SD1s that have been left lying round ..please BM me Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
