The Terrapin sports race car had its original engine rebored over the closed season, however the rebuilt engine always smoked badly and was removed and sent back to the engine builder for rectification.
In the meantime, we took the opportunity to rebuild the straight-cut, close ratio, classic Mini, gearbox as it was very worn and was jumping out of gear.
The baulk rings had worn which in turn caused the dog teeth on the gears and synchromesh hubs to wear out. All new gears, bearings and baulk rings were fitted along with a pair of good, second hand, synchro hubs.
We fitted my 1380cc Classic Mini engine to the terrapin whilst the original engine was sent away.
Angus tried this new combination of engine & gearbox at the Forrestburn Hillclimb on 11th & 12th June 2022 and found it to be very quick and with an excellent gear change. He had a new personal best time of 51.97 seconds and was the overall fastest classic car on the Saturday (It rained on his Sunday competition runs but he still won 1st in class).
We fitted a Weber 45 DCOE carburettor to the engine as opposed to the 48 IDA Weber.
