Buyer Be Awhere

US gear. I used to be lucky to get 100 runs on Charlene's car and mine with the Richmond gear. Switched to US gear and have over 200 on mine and are still quiet.

Put it in a lathe and use sand paper to get it to the size you want

John, I understand what you’re saying, but I purchased a product at a premium price and it should fit without any modifications like a premium product. If I were at the track with a broken ring and pinion, I’d be screwed.
Does US Gear make 5:86 for a 12 bolt, if so, I’ll never buy a Richmond gear set ever again!

US Gear must be pretty good stuff as a couple of weeks ago Ford Performance released a 8.8" 3.73 gear that is made by them. It cost more that the Sterling gears do.
