[Fot] Bastuck Dog Box Available

Sun Feb 21 14:02:08 MST 2016

Hi Marcel,

I still run the Quaife gear sets in my TR6 dog boxes, I simply said that the Bastuck gear sets in my TR4 dog boxes are way better. The quality of components is better and the shift is better, subjective it might be but that is my opinion.

Cheers,

Keith

A Helix disk 1" x 10 splines won't slide over the Bastuck input shaft, unless the splines are made a bit smaller. Bastuck is selling the main shaft for an J-type overdrive. I think no one is selling A-type o/d dog box mainshafts. My first dog box(2005) was a Quaife dog box with the 23 splines Ford input shaft and contrary to Keith Files experience (maybe his Quaife box is from a newer production run?), it worked perfectly (as my Bastuck dog box does now) for 6 years and then the input shaft was bent after the clutch exploded at a logged 8250 rpm, caused by a piece of aluminium that blocked the throttle in wide open position for some 3 seconds. No one is selling an o/d main shaft for the Quaife dog box.
