Mike. I put your gears in my BT7 this spring and I am very happy with the 
results. I would agree with your remarks about the  way it drives and pulls 
in the different gears. My problem is that I still haven't gotten the speedo 
to register correctly. I am about 10% low in fourth in OD. In other words it 
registers .9 miles in a full measured mile. I sent it to MO MA and this is 
the way it came back. So.... my questions is what is the best way to take 
measurements before sending the gauge off to have it recalibrated? I have 
tried the measure 52.8 ft and count the cable revs. That's how it got the 
way it is. MO MA also told me there instruments will not work with tach 
revs, only cable turns. Thanks for any advice. Cheers, JL
