You should find the attached Guy Croft link an interesting read as it covers the differences between the Montecarlo and Volumex gearboxes

Hi Mark, hope this helps - I had an HPE VX registration A888EAU with chassis number 828BF7 00943314 and engine number 00448319

Hope that helps?

There is an MG preparation company who buy up Volumex cars and engine/boxes simply to use the supercharger on MG engines. The unfortunate thing is I can't remember the name of the Company!
But, I'm thinking they don't use either the engine or gearbox in their projects. They must do something with them. Maybe they have some hanging around?

Doesn't ring a bell Chris.
It was 10 years ago they bought my Volumex engine and box off ebay.
From Essex way I think.

That seems strange that you can't get the bearings from the Monte Hospital. A friend of mine has put a VX box in his Montecarlo and recently rebuilt it. I was sure he got everything from the Monte Hospital. I'll ask him and let you know, I remember there being a significant waiting time for one of the bearings though. Stay tuned.

I don't think there are that many applications where a bearing is actually made for a specific vehicle application.
More that gearbox designers use standard bearings. There are a vast range on offer at the specialists like Simply Bearings.
If you actually measure inner and outer diameters and thicknesses you may find them without vehicle chassis numbers or registration numbers.
Like everything I say it's only an alternative, not gospel. But if you are stuck it's worth a try.
Same with baulk rings.
You need someone with enough interest to research the parts not just look them up
On a vehicle database.
