Oh I thought Brickwerks were good? Where is the better kit available?

Brickwerks are good but they sell the JP copy kit as well as the one that I developed.
TBH a linkage refurb is never a bad thing but it wont fix a fractured 3/4 synchro hub

Ian, your kit is showing as ‘Out of stock’ at BW. Is there any possibility that a new batch might be forthcoming?

Best way to describe it is I can still pull down from 3rd to 4th but there is a weird notch halfway where it gets stuck if I try to do it like I've always done it. I can pull a tiny bit harder (still not exactly hard) and get past it, straight into 4th. So it's still very driveable, but something has obviously gone a bit wrong.

It sounds like the tabs on the end are getting caught in the cast aluminium 3rd/4th gate, they’re probably drifting into the gap as you go past up the gears. It’s likely to be down to a misalignment between front and back which will require you to adjust things at the centre joint. If you can do this with the new tabs in place then that would be better.

I'd better ping BW in the morning and get them restocked then! I've got plenty of them in the drawer ready to bag up and ship.
