Default STRAIGHT CUT GEARBOX QUESTION

Im on the lookout for a straight cut gearbox for my Classic waggon, does anyone know of a supplier of decent straight cut gear kits for a 5 speed box ??

I have contacted one Rally supplier and they quoted me over 4K just for a gear kit alone......

I have a budget of around 2K for the gear kit...... and cant wait to have that straight cut whiiiiiiiiiiiine lol

any help would be greatfull appreciated

Try david at API. He can probably use your existing gearbox case - see what he has to offer. PPG straight cut goes into a TY754 case - sometimes just 1 to 4.
Anyway he is an expert - here is his phone no 01926 614333
