I have been using the synchros from Spitbits and never had a problem on
Spitfires and GT-6s. I think you may be confusing these with the synchros
for the big TR's, most of which are junk made by the big three in China.
There is some hope as I have heard of some German sourced ones that are both
correct dimension and proper Rockwell hardness. Moss is selling these as a
"premium" synchro as is I believe Rimmer Bros.

Is the "Common Knowledge" that repro synchronizer rings are junk still
current, or has anyone had success with new batches of these buggers? A
friend is having to rebuild a late single rail box because it refused to
shift into 2nd gear, and so we thought we ought to at least check on what is
available.
I have a couple spare single rail boxes laying around, so can probably
mix-n-match what we find is needed, but it would sure be nice to not have to
tear down several transmissions to fix one.
