NOSHOES Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Michael. After just speaking to Chris at BGH I need a casing with the standard Ford stub. Thanks Andy B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted November 3, 2004 Leadership Team Share Posted November 3, 2004 Right, it's just got a lot easier. Quaife have confirmed that there is no difference in the casings, it's just that they have an optional conversion layshaft which can be bought if anyone needs it. They indicated that they might be willing to throw a few in for cheap/free if required by anyone. From the previous posts, I am not sure that anyone does actually require this conversion kit. If anyone disagrees with this, please let me know! As I said before, it looks like the bare castings are now there, and are being readied. If I can get the time off work, and they are ready, I propose to go up to Quaife on Tuesday 16th to pick up my case and take it to BGH. At the same time, I will pick up and deliver yours Simon, and get Luke's lid to be sent on. Andy, if your case is going to be built by BGH, would you like me to deliver it directly to them and save the courier charge, or would you like it to go to you first? Regards, Michael.

Michael Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Anyone remember how much BGH charge to fit theses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Micheal not ring Brian or Chris at BGH on 01280 714114 I found all new innards and Cw&p much less than I thought it would be. If all you want is to change case why not do it yourself? Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Attention owners who bought these alloy cases. After my sequential let go, it is now being repared at Quaife, while it was there i took along my new alloy case that was a bulk buy back here. There was a problem on a certain number of cases around this batch, the reversing pin is not correct, and my case is no use, they will not use it as the design has changed now. Quaife say they do not know exactly how many cases were affected, and i would imagine that some are still out there. Luckily i will not be charged with a new one. So if any one is stripping one down for inspection then give quaife a ring to see if it is this version.
