I was advised to stop looking for the obscure Ford 9" ratios. Good advice but I'm bull headed.
I've been looking at a Winters Xtremeliner and it's more affordable that those ratios from MF.
I was at the classic car club yesterday and a friend Hamish said there was a gear cutting business he used that did hypoid gears for him.
Even though we're in South Africa we do have some very good engineering facilities and guys that know their stuff.
I'm going to see the gear cutter on Monday. Hamish's day job is all things Rolls Royce and I've seen jet engines at his place so the guy does have high standards.
If he says the guy cuts good gears there might be an affordable solution there and one offs are not a problem. He said the guy ran the set he had made on a jig to bed the gears in.
Not sure of the exact term.
I'll let you know if Hamish was on the money or he had a few too many ales.
