Richmond was bought by another company.They are supposedly going to make the O-axle gears again,but they need to look at sales,market,to justify making them again.There is supposedly over 150 orders for them,so we'll see.A year ago,they said they would be available May 2013.Well,here we are,and no further progress made.
On another note,they never made a 3:55 for the O-axle,GM or aftermarket.
