Description:

How often will you get the chance to buy this! It is still very useful historic Formula 1 kit, or it could be used in that prototype project of yours? Arrows A8 gearbox with new unused internal gears, shafts, diff and drive shafts. The casing is used and has minor repairs on the back where the reverse idler gear broke out. No reverse gear fitted. The gearbox was made by Hewland for Arrows and uses the same FT gears and internals as the FG400, FGA, FGB and FGC range with DG232 part numbers. Spares are readily available. The big bonus with this purchase is the inclusion of the following : A8 complete rear upright assemblies, lower wishbones, carbon brakes and AP calipers. A10 complete front upright assemblies, upper and lower wishbones, carbon brakes and AP calipers. Also front and rear pushrods, rear bellcrank assemblies, front and rear anti roll bar assemblies, Front and rear Penske damper parts, 2 complete sets, ie 4 rear and 4 front A7 Dymag undamaged wheels that fit the A8 and A10 assemblies and a couple of odds and ends like master cylinders, couple of brackets and spigots, wheel nuts, etc.. All the parts have little or no use and have only been subjected to improper storage conditions over the years. A clean or waterbead blasting and refinishing is all they need to look as good as new. The upright assemblies are intricate metal fabrications, not cast, and are absolute works of ART. The front assemblies have all new bearings and other bits and pieces not shown in the pitures to fully assemble. The gearbox internals have all been lubricated and there is no corrosion, rust or any other nasties. Please contact me for further information.
