Hey, Just posted at Autosport; Growing up around race cars in the "60s, 70s and 80s" they were the *only* way to go. Not just in F1 either - Everything, from FF and F3 thru monster Can-Am cars probably had a Hewland 'box for most of its life. They remain one of the few true engineering shops in the business - Apparently, William also has his dads passion to do the right thing, rather than the biggest money maker. RIP to one of the Gods of the industry. Cheers, Ian PS - I can almost guarantee his cogs wouldn't cost $40K a set.....
