    Rick, what I find interesting is that the Puma 110 etc have a 6spd box AND a 1.222:1 transfer high range!

    Would be easy to underdrive it a little using the 1.4:1 high range then run 35's and with its super low first ratio and antistall.... Good on and off road.

    Hmm.....options.....




    My thoughts were is it strong enough to throw behind an Isuzu ?

    I don't really like most of the ratio spreads on the Isuzu boxes I've seen, and the six speed alloy case ones will need to be adapted anyway, although that'd be easier than the getrag.

    OK, I'm a sucker for a slick shifting gearbox.

    I think at one stage Quaiffe did a 'dog box version of the R380 ?

    Once you've driven a good dog box you hate synchros forever (except when you get tired )

    I drove a dog box when I did some volunteer work for Animal Aid a while back.
    There was nothing good about it what with the noise and the smell
    Wagoo.

    I think the biggest problem with buying overseas is the frieght costs, I just bought a set of timing tools from the USA, size 250mm x 250mm x 100mm, weight 1 kilo, cost ranged from USD $91 to $134, tools actual cost USD$ 205, delivery in a week.
    Also a Magnetti Marelli Alternator (300TDi) cost AUD$158, great, freight AUD$150 from Paddocks in UK.
    So a Freight bill around 100 quid for a diff seems very cheap, but still knocks the gloss off Ashcrofts price, too bad you couldn't set up a retailer out here that could import Ashcroft diffs $ bits and knock the ridiculous frieght costs on the head, Regards Frank.
