Baulk rings for SCCR Box
Turbo Mini Forums

Any advice of best baulk rings to use on my new gearbox build. Minispares says to use their competition type with there clubman Gear set however I've read bad things about them sticking etc. I've got several used original ones with good clearance.

Wot you guys using?

I've used good original ones on my clubman set. However the MS comp ones are a new design and have just been released so may be worth a go?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

IMO matt pick the best out of the original ones ........ the others you mention are made of chocolate and are not meant to last.

clubman gearset, idealy good NOS ones, or old 60's ones.

ST gearset MS competiton ones.

I read good used OEM ones.

Guessworks sold me some old 60s steel ones. They cost a bit but are no doubt worth it in the long run.

Sounds like old ens are best then.

Hahaha quite likely Steve

I used MS competition baulk rings with a clubman gear set and they lasted 500 miles max! Now using a set of the genuine rover items and has been great for over 1000miles!

I use the ones in the little green rover bags covered good milage on them on my daily ie over 20k

The new MS ones are the only ones to use. You can't have heard bad news about them as I'm not sure many have been fitted yet.

I found these didn't last long at all! Use the "Genuine Rover'' items from Minispares.

I'm confused now. The competition ones are newly designed like the older 60s steel type then.

Should I be the Guinnea Pig ?

No lol. The rover ones are tried and tested

Has anyone actually used the newly designed competition type?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

I'm pretty sure they've only just come out.

The previous competition ones they sold were useless (From searching around on here).

I remember talking to Gav over email and they were in testing last year.

plan to use the rover gen ones in the said green bags

Gone for genuine Rover for Clubman SC Evo gear set.

Maybe ring minispares and make sure they can supply you a set of the new competition ones. It is unlikely they have gone to a lot of trouble to redesign something, only for it to be worse then the part it replaces.

I'm afraid I can't afraid to test them. It's not for my car and he's a grumpy git. He'd be a complete diva if he had to have the engine out again to do gearbox repairs.

Besides the gen rover ones are £4 less and free postage.

How did you guess Joe? Lol

Has anyone else gone for genuine green bagged baulk rings only to receive them in opened packets?
