Not that there'd be anything wrong with Ashcrofts quality. And came it at approx the same price, not worth the few dollars difference to worry about it. Sometimes a few dollars more but having it when needed is more satisfying.

Curious how much he's got them for now, as when we got brothers a couple of years back it was his last one in stock, and it had a 'golder coloured'(zinc?) plating on it .. and about $180 or so back then.

oldish post now but i went with the Ashcroft unit as Rovacraft had one sitting here in Perth. Think it was $180ish from memory, kinda disappeared in the $4500 odd the whole trans rebuild...
