G Force Tougher case (T5)
Hi guys,
With my current T5 NWC leaking oil and a WC T5 spare I was thinking of upgrading the spare T5's case to the stronger G Force one. This got me thinking that at the same time I should buy a new (standard) BW gear set and rebuild kit.
Does that mean effectively I would have all the parts for a new gearbox? Would I need parts from the spare T5?
Has anyone done this? Anyone know the weight of teh stronger G force case as I would need to ship to England.
Thanks!

Just do a TKO500 or 600 man. You want a tough T5, that's it.

Re: G Force Tougher case (T5)
Is there much of a difference in weight between the BW T5 and the TKO's? Don't mean to highjack your thread, but I figured it would be ok to ask.
