Improved 3rd, 4th & 5th gear synchro rings

Morning all,

Just a heads up to say that after much aggro, I've managed to get some improved synchro rings sorted out for the jc5's.

These aren't designed for fast gearchanges - that's just how the box is designed. What these synchro rings are aimed at is giving a significant improvement in service life. This will also help to reduce the wear that occurs on the dog teeth on the gears/selector hub. These are quite costly items - as some of you guys reading this can testify to.

All because the lady loves milk tray.

Nice work. When mine eventually goes, I'll probably go LSD too.
Well I can do the TL4 boxes mate, and also supply a quaife.

Was this the expensive part that went on mine? "gears/selector hub"
Yeah the selector hub is the expensive item Keith @£120 ish on its own. It's because it's combined with also being used as a reverse gear.
