These have not been available for about a year and they have a habit of selling out quickly. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 165 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 165 | I just recieved mine from Patricks today.  I guess the fun starts now?

No spider gears in the ring-and-pinion set, nor in the installation kit.

FWIW The carrier in a Canadian torque tube has a bolt circle 3/16" bigger than the pattern on Patrick's ring gear. Carrier modification or replacement with a U.S. component are required for us northern folks. Mine had bronze thrust washers against the spider faces too that I never saw in any repair information.
