You'd need a bloody strong wrist! They weigh a lot - but I'm glad considering the forces that goes through them...

Yes siree... It's been on my list for ages to do, and the recent forum talk has inspired me to get it done.

Reduced cabin noise levels.
Increased fuel efficiency.
Greater speed where needed.

What gearing did you finally decide upon?

Looks like a 0.62 to me - good luck pulling that.

Did you get the small thrust washer in the kit as well?

Yep, 0.62 - do you think it'll struggle?

Thrust washer is included, although it was missing when I opened the box. I've messaged the seller...

ermmm you may have a wait....

mine had an 'included' thrust washer, I messaged the seller, he explained that they were "briefly out of stock", "expected in next week" and would send one "as soon as possible"

still waiting for it.........

I machined mine down to suit.

Think your final drive will be lower so you may pull the 0.62 ok - the 4-5 gap may be a bit obvious on hills.

They said getting one out today sir... 🤞

Let's see how it drives - I'm usually down to 4th gear around here anyway.

Good to get some white van feedback, ... There's very little - so it's reported - that holds them back!

It's just that the white ones only change into fifth at 120, so can be a tad excessive in normal town driving.
