Justrecieved an LI150 gearbox from Beedspeed today and all I can say is if you are thinking of getting one dont. Fourth gear was very poor quality cast item tha hadn't even been finished or machined properly very rough. On fitting to the layshaft the fourth and second gear wouldnt slide on had be wiggled on. When I fit the christmas tree it fouled the casing and took 2 shims before it cleared the casing.
Even then when the endplate was put on there was no way the gearbox would turn despite trying a number of shims.
Very poor quality avoid at all costs guys

You really need to ring the shop and express your dissapointment and demand a refund or a new better quality item, I always think its unfair to slag dealers off in public..give alan a call ive used beedspeed before and had good results.

Hope you get a good result Arfur
