Delivery and Shipping

UK delivery — parts we hold in stock

Ordered before 2pm on a working day, these are dispatched the same day by express courier and normally arrive within 1–2 working days.

Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Collection from Arlesey

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

International

3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I confirm this kit is correct for my F40 gearbox?
A: Count the teeth on your existing 2nd gear (should be 53T) and verify the selection tooth pitch angle. The F40 has no universal reference code, so visual confirmation is essential.

Q: Should I replace the synchromesh hub whenever I change the gear?
A: Yes. The hub and synchromesh rings wear together. Replacing the gear alone without the hub risks early failure.

Q: Is this kit for the input or output shaft side?
A: This is for the output shaft side of the 2nd gear assembly.
