What Syncro Gearbox Parts Are You Using? : ZF6-53DZ to LT230 Adapter

I bought Big Blue back in August 2018 and spent 9 months getting it back to roadworthy condition after a near 10 year slumber in a barn. Spent the next year using it daily with the factory 3.5 V8 and 5 Speed Long Stick LT77 until it started losing oil from the rear crank seal. Pulled the engine with the intention of fixing the leak but decided to go ahead and fit the M57 and R380 I’d already acquired instead. Ran with that setup for another year or so and then wanted a bit more refinement and an extra gear so fitted the 6 Speed Manual BMW box. It’s an absolute animal and a pleasure to drive all at once.
