Have you tried giving a gearbox/diff shops around brisbane a call & asking for a quote?

yeah was probably going to do that this week just wanted to see if there was one that someone had used before, that way I can trust they can do an FTO box

That's right, plus the kit has dropped to a hundred bucks now, cheap as chips.

If doing an actual recondition of the gearbox wouldn't new synchros be used, otherwise what's the point?

Because the bearings wear out well before the syncros. You only replace syncros if you need to - the full kit with syncros is f*cking expensive too, about $500. Brass aint cheap.
