Help needed- where to get custom ring and pinion made

All
I’m working on a vehicle of which only 9 were made.
We need a ring and pinion.

Does anyone know a company that can make a set for us?

The vehicle is a British roadless truck and the axles were made by kirkstall forge which was in business from 1080 until Dana bought them and dissolved them in 2003. Kinda fun.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks
Linus.

I have adapted gears from “popular” vehicles when faced with the same problem. Ford model A or V8 gears are the ones I have used in the past. Some dimensions and pictures could be useful in this context.

These posts are a few years old but the business is still going.
