hi there, after alittle help
been looking around online and see there are some new transfer gears(lowering for big tyres and rock crawling
)
that are made for most mitsubishi's including mine l200/triton

has anyone had these fitted??
and does anyone no who would be interested in suppling them to the u.k?
a friend of mine emailed one place but has had no luck with a reply

I got a set of these (the 2.85s) three years ago from Mark Hardman (
mark@hardmanbros.com.au) in Oz. They are indeed exceptional! The last I spoke with him (via email) was in December and he mentioned that he was making a new batch of gears in January/February, so they should be available. As far as I know, he's the only one who makes custom t-case gears for Mitsus. I emailed him a couple weeks ago for someone else and haven't heard back from him, so I'm not sure if something's going on with him or not. I hope he's okay.

That was over three years ago...I have trouble remembering what I had for dinner last night.
IIRC, I think they were US$750 + US$50 shipping. I think the price may have gone up since then, but don't quote me on anything.
By the way, I'll be in the UK next week (Manchester to start) just doing some sight-seeing. You know of a good breaker in/around Manchester where I could get a look at a Shogun or two (if I manage to convince my brother to take a side-trip to a breaker while on vacation)?

Thank you much! I'll be traveling through numerous areas of England, Scotland, and France, so I think I may have a good chance of stopping by there.
I appreciate it mate!
