Custom Tranny Gears

[Eric]

I think quaiffe will do custom stuff.  I could be wrong, but I seem to
remember seeing that in a print add once.  http://www.quaifeamerica.com/

I have several sets of gears from various early 80s VW applications
laying around from a frankenstein box I tried to make once.  If someone
has an open 4kq or 80q box we could compare.  That does open a number of
options.  This is asking for a lot though as the shaft center distances
would have to be exactly the same, but who knows I have been surprised
before.
