>  What top-hat are those in the know using for the stock gear-sets these days?

I'm trying to use just steel bushings and you MUST make sure that all the 
end-float settings are perfect. In some cases that means the case is toast 
because the end float for the lay-shaft is knackered. I suppose you could 
use shims on the laygears to get the end-float in spec, but that's for the 
pros... I have no idea how to source a shim that might work on the 
layshaft.

For the mainshaft bushings, I get steel bushings from either John Esposito 
(www.quantumechanics.com) or Moss (they have a "kit" that replaces the 
bronze with steel). Either "solution" is not cheap, the bushings alone are 
$150 and then you usually have to replace "stuff" that's been beaten or 
broken over time.

Alternate gearboxes look better every day.
