<div class="userStyles" style=" font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">Thanks for making these available Rick. I don't have a need for any at<br>

the next time.<br>

I do hope there is more interest in these than the Spit / GT6 Synchro's, those sales have been quite underwhelming so far unfortunately. BPNW is carrying the Spit rings as an FYI.</span></div>

<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">I believe there is a real need for parts like these because the OEM stuff is long gone and todays aftermarket parts are real junk. 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. </div>

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.</div>

<div dir="ltr">They fit well to the gears, no rocking like the out of round repro parts. Hand fitting to the gears they clearly have a stronger "bite" than even good original parts.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">For the past couple days, I've been driving it around like a madman to see what they will do. So far, I'm impressed- they take a ham fisted, non rev matched, too fast jam into first gear without any drama. Fast shifts up and down thru the gears feel great too.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm awful excited to give them a proper stress test at Pittrace.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">I don't have any financial interest in these, but I am sharing because I feel all of us racing with a TR gearbox stand to benifit.</div>
