Box is the very similar to a TH350 which Perry has dabbled with such - even had a spare adapter at some point iirc

Not sure what power you are running, but they need work to make them last if you are putting a moderate amount of torque alongside good grip.

This is the build I did myself which after fitting the z-pack, has now lasted quite a few years:

I and others have encountered problems with so-called "specialists", so be careful where you spend your money, it's all on my site if you want to read it.

Hi eliot

yes fitted th350 in mini with an adapter, but was hoping to get a better machined unit, if you have a drawing as i dont have one from my adapter work.

i have a friend who could machine one for me if i can get drawings

i have a guy sorted for gearbox rebuild , £2500 for upgrade and rebuild
