Hi all, as the title suggests i`m looking for a syncro 4x4 gearbox, complete at least , & whether it`s good or not doesn`t really matter, altho i`d prefer a good one to start with, someone told me there is a fella at Bribie Island with quite a few syncros, any one have an idea how to contact him/her ???

thanks in advance

You'd be after Rudi......try German Engineering or Conti Engines....both on Bribie, and should be able to get in contact with Rudi.

You might have to look at importing one, try syncrospares and Brickwerks in the UK. Google them. Or Busman in Belgium. www.busman.be

Might as well get some hens teeth while you are at it 😉

Rudi's number is 07 3408 6669

Good luck

Any ideas on shipping cost to Australia ? Postcode 4053, Brisbane Queensland ?

Do you have then with factory lockers ? If so how much ?

Why copy when you can own an original ?

hi guys,nearly all my gearboxes and front diffs have lockers,unfortunatly i dont do the shipping to oz,but the last 2 customers who live in oz organised it themselves,reason being if i organise shipping and it gets lost then i have to send out another or refund and its too much of a risk,cj.
