Re: [DML] Transmission Governor

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Hi Jamie

As many list members know, myself and my good friend Rich Johnstone have been restoring
our cars as a pair, having bought them together. He has done a lot of work on his auto
tranny governor, in fact has re-built a replacement from scratch, making new PCBs and
correcting the original design flaws. I can't speak from experience and I'm surprised he
hasn't been onto you directly about it (although he seems to have disappeared off the
face of the earth in the last few days!), but I know he had trouble finding appropriate
replacement caps - the trouble being finding components of a high enough temperature
rating for the governor. He did succeed though.

Yes he is planning on selling them, but it is not practical to hand-make them one at a
time, and right now his project has stalled in the testing phase due to being busy on
other stuff. At least, that's what he says....

I've Bcc'd him on this e-mail
