2 ltr boxes come up ocassionally, but they aint cheap, i paid £300 for mine, best to keep an eye on Vzi and ebay, seen em for £250-£450 recently

Are 2.0 ltr 'boxes an improvement over yer standard 1600 box or something? Or are you just looking for a replacement?

Cheers,
Nate

I used Mega Bug but have been very unhappy with the result. I have only noticed a small improvement. The problem with reconditioning is that not all of the parts are reproduced so some worn parts are still used.

I am not saying that all Mega Bug recon units are bad but I think it depends on how good the one you send them is?

just interested why specifically a late nose cone?

T2-Nate - the box has a different ratio more suited to motorway usage plus is a damn site stronger (6 ribs) hnce its popularity in the off roading/sand rail community....

I know of a 2ltr engine, but the gear box has side shift change and hydraulic clutch,so looking for late bay one.
Thanks for the reply about the steering box.

Is it a straightforward implant or does it take some fettling?

 

[Araon]

a little work, depends on the box you get pick up has one from a t25 so theres the issue of a nose cone swap (you may get an EB nose cone on that) or machine a new linkage to work on the side, then theres the bell which are slightly deeper and the drive shaft a little longer.

Thanx man, are these the "091" 'boxes then?

 

[Araon]

yes..the t25 variant tend to go for peanuts, but with a little work is a good way to get there..
