916 gearbox conversion kit (915 to 914) Options

[bugat5speed]

Hi altogether,

still not on our site (www.bugat5speed.de), but ready for market within the 1st quarter of 2010.

916 gearbox conversion parts. Conversion kit is very near to the OE Porsche 916 kit that was offered in small qty. in the 70s.

Kit is with the original 916 OE repro sideshift, mechnical components inside and with a very short nosecone (even 5 mm shorter than OE parts 916). Usage of original exhaust systems is no problem.

Complete kit for usage with electronic speedometer will be about 2.100 Euro for export (without VAT).
With mechanical speedo drive it will be 2.225 Euro
Freight cost to the US about 50 Euro.

For more info (upload of pictures is limited here) please send me a PM or better mail to info@bugat5speed.de

Hi altogether,

am nearly finnished now with all parts. Received further parts from the turning workshop (ballhead-lever, shiftrod). Only thing left still is the intermediate plate of the shift housing. We started making clamping fixture yesterday and I can probably start milling on Monday.

Mounted an old magnesium case 915 gearbox with my parts. Used the original 916 shift housing as my intermediate plates are still not finnished. Only made one adjustment of the shiftrods inside and the gearbox shifted really brilliant.

Will make some more pictures of the mounted unit and show you (didn´t have my digicam with me when I was in the workshop yesterday).

We made a further and even better batch of these bearing supports that have to be mounted into the gearbox. They are milled out of a block of billet aluminium. Pictures to follow also.

By mid of next week all parts will be done. Only issue then is the mechanical speedo drive. Will be important for those that will use the old magnesium case 915 gearbox. That will be the very final part.

Will keep you informed and post further pictures.
