I just weighed all three with clutch forks and bearing carriers but no oil:
56 = 17.4kg
60A= 20.8kg
60L= 23.2kg

Good to see the 60a is 20 kg quite heavy the L version
must be bigger imput shaft and bellhousing material?
I was looking at the latest Ultima world record car
it only has 3 speed gearbox sequential setup.

Id love a 4 speed with a torquey a15 but will
need all custom ratios

eg.

2.6
1.65
1:1
0.5

I'd have expected the 60A and 60L to be near identical. Was the 60A a 4-speed (and 60L a 5 speed)?

According to my scales which are probably only accurate to + or - 250g
5speed 60A no oil,no release lever etc = 22.0Kg
5speed 60L no oil,no release lever etc = 21.3Kg

even with the accuracy of the scales taken into account, it looks like dogleg is (insignificantly) lighter

Yeah not much difference, I expected more.
Oh and my scales would not be spot on at all either as the wife has been standing on them ;)

HAHAHA!!!

Finally some GB weights. Good stuff Nigel.

EDIT: And good work Mal as well......Sorry I skipped reading the thread and ended up laughing at the Levey's arse-scales comment. Missed the rest of the weights that you posted.

How many gearboxes do you have at the moment Mal? I was speaking to a bloke in VIC who was after one.
