Baffled By Lack Of Gearbox Baffle

[Adam91]

Has anyone found an Australian company (or someone) that remakes these unicorn gearbox baffle plates at all? 

It goes into the top of the transfer case or gearbox to stop oil flicking out of the gearbox. I’m on my third shifter boot in 8 years and it’s starting to get really annoying, no idea why they were left out and sold as an option from nismo which is now discontinued. I have found a few companies overseas that sell them but I’d rather keep my money in the country and not have to wait months for something so small in the snail post.

I’ve been doing the hose clamp on shifter boot since the first replacement boot and it’s now getting rediculous. Surely someone has some info on either a plate or a 3D printed replacement in aus 😀

It looks like a simple fabrication job. Do some measurements, do a sketch, and get a local sheet fabber to make it up out of stainless?

Thanks man, that is actually my plan B. Was hoping someone might know someone and I’ll buy direct. Otherwise if there is interest I’ll get a dozen made up from a fabbie and move them on. Every gtr I’ve worked on has atleast some signs if not major leakage from the top of the box so I’m sure people will be in need of a solution 🙂
