As I understand it, a while back Charles (TRF) had a run of syncros made up 
in Taiwan. I have one set of these in a box (works OK, not great, 5000 
miles) and one set on the shelf. The gearbox in my racecar was built with a 
rebuild kit from Rimmers in England. Very different syncros. Shifts like a 
dream. Thought that popping out of second was a problem until the fast guys 
pipe in that they hold their shifters in gear!

I understand Moss sells the same ones that Rimmers has, never tried them.
