<div>Bill,</div><div> Thanks for that precise info. Paul sent me the best set <span>of used Datsun synchros </span>he could get together to install in my trans. This must have been before he was measuring the new ones you are talking about. The only reason I have not installed them is I thought there would be some decent ones being made by now. From what you say, I would be better off with the used ones Paul sent me. Now to find a transmission shop to do the work on a 40 year old transmission. Thanks.</div><div>Mike MacLean<br></div><div><br></div>
