Bearings would be standard Saxo/106, drive flanges depend on my comment above, typically a turned down BE drive flange pressed into standard Saxo/106 hub and bearing.
Regarding the gearbox, there is no standard TU-BE4 box that'll have that great a set of ratios, the one that Ross mentioned isn't too bad, but there's plenty of stuff you can swap into the casing easily enough to make something up that'd suit.

Awesome, I will talk to Colin about his BE box mounting kits & ill probably get his to do the shafts / hubs etc for me too. Does his kit require chassis modifications? (the one I saw when I picked my engine up from Sandy had the gearbox mounted off the passengers side chassis leg)
Any recommendations on what can be used to make the gearing better for NA? are we talking off the shelf stuff or quaife kit once off jobbies?
Cheers for your help so far
