Hi All I build a Dog Box for the Spitfires. It is a lot of work to put
together and is worth at least a few seconds a lap on most of our tracks At
$2127 thats a good price. Does it use stock shift forks bearings and spacers?

>Hello all,
>I've had quite a bit of interest so here's a bit more info.
>The deal available:
>For Quaife there is nothing available off the shelf. Minimum run is

>from the UK. They have no-cost options of TR6 or Dolomite main-shaft
>and a 2.013 or 2.223 1st. The others are 1.513 2nd, 1.205 3rd and of

>Kit consists of:
>4 speed dog engagement gearkit,
>Straight cut, close ratio gears,
>Needle roller bearings support free running gears,
>QUAIFE mainshaft included.
