im going to be running 20mm spacers on the rear on mine so Ive just purchased a set of M12x1.25 62mm long wheels studs for the spacers as they are bolt on and the studs in the spacers are off a ford. I got them off ebay delivered costing $64.00 from uk cheaper than $25 a stud over here.
i will hope to put up pics and things of how they look and what i did to make them work/ safe

Do you mean you ordered spares, or you just don't need them after all?

My car is at the gearbox place at the moment, I might chase them up tomorrow. I think what has happened to my box is probably similar or identical to what happened to yours. I'll find out very soon. I've been given the option of cheaply buying the box that I still have from Gorilla Industries, but just give back the clutch style LSD to them to sell separately.

After all the discussion about my gearbox...I've just got a call from Gearbox Express, and this is the situation: - They confirmed that my 5th gear shift fork is broken - They can't fix (all) the issues by taking parts from the other box from Gorilla - Apparently the synchros in my box are in worse condition than the box from Gorilla (I guess I'm just used to it haha) - So, the end result is that I'm going to use the box from Gorilla after all (instead of mine), and I'm not going to bother fixing the synchros because they are still better than what I've had until now - I'm still using the Quaife LSD of course, so I'll be giving the other LSD to Gorilla to sell to someone else, so I'm subsequently getting the box from Gorilla for a really good price.

There probably wouldn't be many parts that I could sell off it, being an early E153. It will probably end up at the scrap yard, unless someone else can find a use for it. I may not even take it back home with me, as I have no use for it anymore.

Can you keep your old box Rob? I currently have a small leak from my E153 and if it turns out to be a part that needs replacing I might be able to buy it from your old one?
Someone else was looking for some spares as well I think

No worries, I guess I can keep it then. I was going to ask Gearbox Express if they wanted to keep it for spares.
