No promises...    I am trying to get information from an old guy (older than me) that worked at Hughes yrs ago.  See if he remembers if any gear stuff is setting around the shop  for the olde 2.08 - 2.10 gear ratio planetary stuff.  I have not been in contact with him yet.. I hear he is in Casa Grande - Coolidge AZ area

Another guy that built a ton of that stuff retired 12 - 15 yrs ago..    I would see him at swap meets here and there in the winter in AZ..  When he retired he left the valley because of the heat.  

I am checking around , nothing yet.  Kinda got me wondering about the old gear sets run decades ago

Thanks Crosley. I don't think there were any big trans places around here. Just rebuild shops. I've got my "go to" guy here that I use to build my stuff, but he didn't have anything.

Here is what I have learned on the 2.08 - 2.10 gear set for the glide and it is not much.

Likely it was ATI that came up with the idea and built them.  They were not very durable.

I talked to the owner of Hughes Perf and he remembers the 1.90 gear sets and I think those may still be available.  The chance of a 2.10 gear set around the shop is slim.
