To clear up one thing first, if anyone wants to contact Pete Doughty do ring the number in Fletch's sig and if he is there he will answer - if he isn't there the call will go through to reception at which point don't do what i did and ask for DPE as Pete sold DPE a while back and they are still going but nothing to do with gears anymore, ask for Pete by name I guess these boxes should now be called Doughty boxes and not DPE.
I think he said these are out of stock at the moment but anyone interested could check on that - he did say this kit is basically the same as the Bara and that in fact the Bara design was............. erm........ 'BORROWED' from Pete's design The ratio's on this kit are 'Crap' - Pete's words not mine 
I guess it seemed a good idea at the time All the drawing room work is done for this and is just waiting to go to production.......... 3 kits will be produced initially, one is allocated to a race car somewhere the second is available to Fletch if he wants it and the third now has my name on it should i decide to take up the option on it I've obviously stated my interest in this. It'll only end in 
again.
and is essentially very similar to what P.Doughty is developing......... or is there an issue with your Fixit ?
I guess it seemed a good idea at the time . The standard Ford ratios are SHIT - there is too big a speed disparity between them, so that the syncros have a hard time keeping up. This is why gearkits with these ratios are ALWAYS fucking up the syncros .
.
This is why i didn't rush headlong into a Bara - although i was tempted - i'm not dissing the Bara as many have it and are happy with so can't be all bad In fact for strength it's the kit to have it seems, reliability counts for a great deal when you don't have race team budgets Said the design was essentially very good but their heat treatments were all out of whack...............
) will be able to fit a quick shift without worrying too much about syncro's, so another big bonus )
his motivation seems to be a passion for engineering rather than the profit of the bottom line very refreshing in these times.......
Said the design was essentially very good but their heat treatments were all out of whack................ In fact, even thought I sell Quaife stuff, I flatly refuse to sell these on that basis......
