    I got my parts from,
    Series 1, 2 & 3 Gearboxes | Online Gearbox Parts Shop
    And DingoCroft
    Series 1, 2 & 3 Gearboxes | Online Gearbox Parts Shop
    Both UK suppliers
    Important to work out correct Suffix gearbox, parts do differ.

    Just done an S3 rebuild, had a few issues with parts. One of the 1-2 Syncro gears was un named from Paddocks, when it arrived it was poorly cast/cut and wouldn't fit. Turned out to be a Britpart gear, which I would have actively avoided. Paddocks were very good and refunded me as it seems I wasn't the first customer to have these issues.

    I would strongly advise avoiding the dreaded blue box, their gears are visibly poorer quality than other manufacturers. You really do get what you pay for.

    I can only echo what Whitebilly says as I also bought my gears from here.

    The chap who runs it, Kim, is a one man band and gives great service. Delivery was quick (mind you this was before the COVID dramas) and most importantly all of his gears are sourced from an Italian manufacturer and are absolutely first class, just soak them in Glen20 when they arrive!

    Cheers

    A secondhand gearbox for parts might be an option.

    At work we had a delivery leave Italy just before the Government closed most of the factories, freight cost increased from the usual $7 per kg to $24 per kg !!
    I also notice that Paddocks closed their Counter Sales then stopped online sales temporarily.
    A friend watched a TNT Webinar recently and apparently something like 70% of freight came over on passenger flights. As they have stopped there is a backlog and flights are at a premium.

    If you order anything from overseas at the moment you may have a long wait plus a surprise in the freight costs.

    Best of luck,

    Give them a ring. I think they have a supply of good Second hand gearbox gears.

    Hey Ian

    Have bought some parts from Online gearbox parts, and they have been great,, I am trying to find a synchro hub (608283) for a suffux A box, and am wanting to avoid the blue box - any ideas on alternate sources for OEM part within AU?
