CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Richmond Pro gear alert heads-up...

Documented last night on our car and confirmed from another Class racer in KY...the new 12-bolt Pro gears coming from Richmond have the pinion distance stamped incorrectly on the pinion head. First clue will be when checking the distance the numbers will call for about .230 shim lol.

Look for packaging labeled "Made in Italy". Seems Richmond moved their operations to Italy and the workers are having problems converting from their metric system. My guess is this is going to be expensive for Richmond as the problem surely extends further than just the 12-bolt versions.
