[Brad Eells]

Rick,

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

I am building a product line of all sorts of different manufacture's Synchro rings and the Triumph rings were first just because I have been involved in with racing Triumphs for 25 years and have been wishing someone else would have done the work and spent the money to develop parts like this. It's way easier to buy parts than go through the expense, development and time not to mention gambling that guys will see the value and buy them and I hope is worth it for me to do this. There are many transmission conversions out there now and it's mainly because of the synchro issue.

Adding $300 to a transmission build is nothing when you know it's going to work and less than nothing when you are considering a $3000-5000 conversion kit.
