Hi all, does anyone know the best place to acquire MK 9 dog rings, From what Ive seen it's a rip off. I'm a gear manufacturer and it would be very hard to produce this part.

You can manufacture the part, but say it would be very hard to do. I equate that with an expensive part to produce, yet you feel the current manufacturers/suppliers are too expensive.
When it comes to the damage done to a Hewland when something unexpectedly breaks, this is not a place I would scrimp.... I would take the advice of any of our regular suppliers and buy from them regardless of price.

Recently at a race someone suggested Dog rings.com

Curious to hear the feedback.Quote:

I've been using dogrings.com dog rings in both 1.6L and 2.0L cars for at over 20 years and never, ever had a problem with them. They handle my ham fisted no clutch shifting techniques quite well.Quote:

Interesting, as the Hewland Mk series and LD200 series have different ear profiles. I think these are designed as a Mk style.Quote:

You would be amazed at some of the junk I see in the boxes that come through my shop
And the destruction a substandard broken dog will do
Having done Hewland boxes for many years - I'd second Scottys recommendation about Hewland parts.
