Nice! Berg probably would say theirs is better and that is inferior design  Cheesy

I hear that someone already shipped one to China to be reproduced.  The new ones will be hitting the market in about 3 weeks.   Wink

I doubt that it would be cheaper than a Berg unit, but who cares...  I couldn't afford either one at this time so I guess I have to be glad I got my Berg 5 back in '97!

Thats extremely nice 4sure, but the ring-gear of the tranny it was made upon looks very type1-ish small=weak.
Curieus what torque this would hold.

It looks like a Hewland so it would probably be pretty strong.
