Where did you get it done @Andrzej?

1st 2.98 and seals , gaskets - from Burton Power .

Synchros from Motomobil.de

Work - service and bearings - local in Poland, service specialised in Motorsport rally cars boxes and diffs,  which  previously fabricated for mine track Westfield  mt75 with H type straight gears dog box with choosen ratios also with long 1st, and few differentials .

 

But no acrobatics this weekend- found some Play in UJ joint on proposhaft.. (only 5k kilometers from build, ppor UJ)  Hope next weekend to install all properly.

It may be the angle of the photo but the original studs look too long.

Some wheels have pockets on the back that give enough space for the original studs to fit uncut.

The studs are sticking out past the spacer. I was expecting to have to cut them shorter, but found that my alloys have recesses between the stud holes on the inside. So the wheels sit on, no problems at all. This has made me even happier with the whole thing, as I can retain the original stud lengths and revert back without issue now, If I ever wanted to.
