Title: Street gearbox in Europe Post by: 181 on July 14, 2009, 17:16:47 pm I have a question for you european guys. I´m looking for stronger swingaxle gearbox for my VW 181 (Thing) with 2276 engine. I realise something like 4.12 RP and 0.89 or 0.82 fourth with welded gears, HD sideplatesand strong differential would be nice. Who is good gearbox builder in Germany, UK? I want to keep down shipping costs from the States and a hassle f shipping such heavy part so I prefere european region.
Thanks for advices. Title: Re: Street gearbox in Europe Post by: peach_ on July 15, 2009, 00:08:24 am Dude are you in the Uk? If so I have to Recomend John Wallkett, Top guy.

Title: Re: Street gearbox in Europe Post by: ESH on July 18, 2009, 11:25:11 am Pete at Cog Box, all the boxes we have for our cars at home are from him. I think it's fair to say they're proven (into the 9s) and he regularly ships all over so I'm sure he'll be able sort something out. :) 8)
