Hi Brad
The Synchro's fit all the single rail transmissions and all the Spit /GT6 t=
ransmissions that use the "larger" Synchro's. They will not fit the early t=
ransmissions with the "small" synchro's
Same size as Moss part number=C2=A0071-330
will not fit Moss part number 847-205

 Rick,
Can you clarify for Spitfire racers: These synchros fit later single rail b=
oxes only, or 3 rail boxes as well?
