I'd say any of the Mini places will do it right- Mini King, Mini Classic, Mini Car Clinic (now called Minispares Aust I think)

Yeah i know gafmo, mini king is 2 minutes down the road, Has anyone had there gearboxes built there?
Also just another question, Has anyone used 1.08:1 Drop gears, Over 1:1? What is the difference, And how does this affect your gear ratios???

I know of one award winning mini owner who wouldn't go anywhere else but Mini King for his gearbox rebuild.
