Not as expensive as you may think actually
Compared to a rebuild and time off the road (with a hire car) and sourcing parts for it to go bang again down the line - I'd say there's not much in it.

Plus once it's done, it's done.

 

Good to know your getting things sorted Lee. I'm waiting for Andy to get back to me about a part so good to know your happy with the service so far.

 

If he's got it in stock Matt, I can ask him to bring it over with my car today if it saves you postage?

 

The later hawkeye boxes ARE stronger the front end is totally redesigned just sitting two cases together will show the differences. The hawkeye boxes are significantly wider around the front diff area.
That said theory goes out the window in practice. I used a TY754VN4AA box for two seasons of hillclimbs and sprints at around 400lbs/feet and it was not treated with any sympathy and it is still in good condition although now retired. And here is someone with a hawkeye 5 speed which has broke at less that 400lbs/ft.
The same can be said for 6 speed boxes, they have broken at power levels less than others are using

 

I'm going to call them in a bit so I'll let you know cheers

Not been able to give the car a proper run yet, but from what I have done it feels absolutely solid as a rock. It really has transformed the car!!!

Will report back soon
