Zephyr floor boxes used standard Ford gears, but of course could contain anything by now.

I had a N.O.S 26 tooth LZ cluster stolen from my table at Hershey last October. First time ever for me in 35 plus years of vending at flea markets.

I saw a floor shift LZ transmission for sale at Hershey for a lot of $$. Many don't know the difference. A lot of hype around the LZ gears.........

Interesting factoid: The 1938 LZ carried the type of gears and synchos adopted by Ford during 1939. The new parts carried 1938 Ford part numbers but were not apparently used at all on '38 Fords.
At Hershey a couple of years ago I bought an empty '38-9 LZ case and shifter because I like the odd shifter setup. The dealer told me smugly he had removed the gears to sell on Ebay since Zephyr gears were Hot $tuff...always wondered how that all ended up!

Posting this one for a friend of mine with no computer. He wants to know which aftermarket Zephyr gears are worth buying. There has been some word that some Made in USA gears fail. Sure finding originals would be the way to go but if you can't get your hands on some which repops are good?

I don't think there are any made in the USA now.

Probably packaged in the US and made in Chiwan

Has anybody here bought any Chiwanese or (made in any other country than the USA) gears that have held up? Mac, Reds....etc

Actually, I don't think they are made in China. Brazil maybe. need a vendor to tell us where.

I've got a set of the old Speedway 3.55 gears (not a typo, they are realy 3.55:1) and I believe they were made in Italy. They were well made as far as finish on the metal is concerned but they just didn't know the pinion quill end would not fit through the banjo bore without grinding the heal of each tooth a little. It made a few Speedway customers unhappy to say the least.
