The factory shift forks were made of a brass-type material and were quite soft as they were designed to wear before the gear; this means that they MUST be replaced often if the box is to continue to shift like new!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p\">Fortunately, MiniSpares has just released two\u00a0newly re-tooled selector fork options. Both have\u00a0been manufactured in the UK using the lost wax\u00a0casting process to produce the parts in an\u00a0aluminium bronze alloy. The result is a marked improvement on the original brass-type version.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p\">The first gear fork is for the four-synchro pre-rod- change gearbox only. Order as part number 22G889MS at \u00a3102.60 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p\">The second type is for the early three-synchro gearbox. Order as part number 22A611 also at \u00a3102.60 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p\">For more details contact 01707 607\u00a0700 or visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.minispares.com\/\"><u><span class=\"15\">www.minispares.com<\/span><\/u><\/a>\u00a0<b>ENDS.<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The 1st\/2nd gearchange forks used in classic Minis\u00a0&#8211; and in thousands of kitcars &#8211;\u00a0are prone to wear.
