I agree the salesbury is the best if you can get it. The salesbury blocket both
wheels always. The Quaife is 2. choice for a TR4 (rigid axle). In a TR6 you can
use the Quaife better.
The Quaife maybe stronger but faster you are with a salesbury item.
The Salesbury if you can get it cost much more as the Quaife. The Quaife most
is in stock. The Salesbury often you must wait until you get it from UK.
Ring and pinions I can supply still always but I don't know whether the price
now is less expensive than by Moss.
