Unless you are making the uprated first gear yourselves, I would advise that although the first batch of these have been made (in Sweden), they still haven't been finished. I expect this will take Bjorn another few months (especially with his holiday to Florida in April...).

I also know (after making the phone call you suggested), that you have so far only taken delivery of one of these gear-kits (the one in the photo) .

I think it is both unfair and misleading to suggest to people that you are the sole importer of these, when that is clearly not the case .

Given that these gearkits have been available for some time, I would also be interested in hearing how you helped develop them....

I would also point out to anyone reading this that the new first gears / main shaft (when available) can be retro-fitted to all current Fixit kits made over the last few years.

Also, you can't use a new first gear, as Ford no-longer make them , so it HAS to be a second hand (preferably crack tested and shot-peened and polished) item. The main shafts can still (currently) be bought new from Ford, but the new Fixit items when finished will mean these standard items (the only weak link) are no longer required .
