From watching the AF Decom RS500 and Tiff Needle in the Labbetts RS500, was just wondering what gearboxes and diffs they used ?

The Period cars used a Getrag Gearbox , these are BMW boxes , huge teeth , very strong , the motorsports boxes feature some great close ratios and a direct top , wonderful box !! Some teams played with Hollingers etc.. but most reatined the Getrag .Diffs were 9" GpA Ford items with a variety of CWP's



I have a couple for sale as im going sequential for 2006 !!
