Anything else people want Bear in mind very complex parts ,cost escalate , so if it's just for bling think on
Can you not replicate straight cut gears?
Standard pulsar 3rd gears are well known for going (I know all too well) so myself and others have put straight cut gears in, can you not replicate these gears at a cheaper price for buyers....just a thought?

As Ads has said..... we will hopefully soon have these in stock to test fit.
They obviously need to be fully tested prior to any going out and I have a customers gearbox in at the mo ready to test fit one and make sure there are no clearance issues when the gearbox is put through its paces. The car its being tested in is a high powered track car so ideal territory for testing as gearbox Temps will be far higher than that of a road car
As said earlier by Stu. .
The stock selectors are actually quite strong and it's normally worn parts such as synchros, bearings etc that put an unequal loading on the selector and in turn something has to eventually give and the cast alloy selectors are the weakest links.
Other things which cause breakages are human error and being way to aggressive with gear change, normally the main culprit for aggressive changes and mis-shifts is poor quality short shift kits so just a few things to bare in mind.
Will update as soon as testing is done and we get the first batch ordered in

Cranks - far too difficult , massive R & D needed , gears may seem simple but again R&D is huge , sure we could go below 1 micron accuracy but how good is your gearbox in terms of shaft play and surface treatments would be in itself costly .
Maybe something like titanium rods would be useful but demand low ?

Is there any joy with these yet? Hoping they might be ready by spring?

I'm actually tempted to design a set myself and get some quotes from Ricardo.

Doubt there's a better man for the job!! Would it be to sell on or for your own use out of interest?

I would probably offer to upgrade boxes myself with new bearings, seals etc.
i could use my gear box as a test box to prove out the design.
I can feel a new thread brewing up.

I've seen people asking for recommended gearbox builders for pulsars, you'd certainly have people asking for you to run your mitts over there boxes if they see the detail you've gone into with mine!

I still want to make sure yours has a few more miles on it, especially at full throttle , just to make sure.

mate you will get a box or 2 fail if you do through no error of your own nothing lasts for ever and people always want to blame others. Just never be tempted to help someone out who won't spend what is required on parts once the box is split. Helps cover yourselfCosmic73 wrote:I still want to make sure yours has a few more miles on it, especially at full throttle , just to make sure.
I seen some idiots who own these cars. Bob is a saint for even trying to help some of them. There cars are shit they spend money in the wrong places and there the ones who think everything lasts forever and blame anyone but them self

+1 on that .
You got stay away from some idiots as they just hassle and have no idea . set build rules and stick with them.
Did the shift forks ever get done ?

Thats why id only build them myself so i know it would be done by the book. If someone wanted a cheap fix then i wouldn't be interested. I dont need the money, i just like helping genuine people out.
Yeah, there's real scum out there. The grief Bob took was disgusting, nicest guy you'll ever meet too.

Well if you did get it sorted, I would buy one! If I could do it my self, my car would have been completed about a year ago.
Go on Cosmic, you know it makes sense!

I could understand Pete having 11 boxes 555 .
Worth bit of money now is the old gearboxes .

Any news on these uprated forks? Ricky's recent gear box failure was due to this fork snapping and the 3rd gear synchro springs popping out.
We're rebuilding using his with brand new quiafe gears and he's got Pete's old fork but what if this snaps again?

Sorry i havent checked this thread for months.
Well just to update everyone........im afraid its a no go as far as the forks are concerned which is a real shame
I attempted to fit the fork in a customers race car as a perfect test base for them but..............the forks are way off fitting correctly, infact i spent over 2 hrs just boring out the centre so it fitted correctly over the selector rod, but then we had a further problem with the side arms of the selector being to deep so out come the angle gri der and narrowed those down until thry eere correct depth.
Went to i stall the selector into the guys box only to find that the angles of the selector arms are also wrong, that was the killer blow as nothing i could do regarding that.
So outcome was complete waste of time as the cad drawings must have been way out for that to have happened.
Also Adam no longer works there and think the guy that made them is no longer there either.
So in a nutshell its a no go with them

When I get home I'm going to take a stock fork to my good friend Tim who can do 3D scans into solid works, and then replicate the part with billet steel via a 5 axis CNC. He said i should be able to replicate it for around $200 based on size. Bob, what type of steel were you having yours made from?
I was thinking about maybe 8620 Billet or a type 410 stainless.
