I was thinking about fitting a new R380 box instead of rebuilding the LT77S, are their any problems with this? or should I spend my money fixing what I have?   Normorsch2 Unregistered guest Posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 02:51 am:    Check Ashcroft Transmissions -- they've got rebuilt R380s that are supposed to be better than the new factory units, which should be strong enough to handle your 3.5.   Frode Hübertz Haaland (Discofrode) Member Username: Discofrode Post Number: 109 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 04:50 am:    Swapping your destroyed LT77s for a reconditioned R380 will cost you �50 more than a reconditioned LT77s So I just say Go for it!
