Yes Albins do, but you'll probably find that the aftermarket ones are not a lot stronger than the standard jobbies. VW made excellent parts generally. People don't break a ring and pinion first up. Generally it's the spider gears in the diff that go, then first gear. The ring and pinion would only be compromised if the sideplate moves on beetle boxes. Heavy duty sideplates fix this. Kombi boxes are even stronger. The 2l 091 has the strongest ring and pinion. Why do you want a custom one, ratios?

Listen, we need to get together and have a chat. I reckon I knock most of your questions on head in one session. You have U2U. Give me a call.
