I have an original HZ sandman as a 'work in progress' in the shed, which has no gearbox (originally 253 and trimatic), I also have a HJ Stato in bits which has a turbo 400... So my question is, do you think I should use the t400, or am i better off being original and sticking with the trimatic? Which one is better do you think?
