Just scroll down on this page:

There are only a couple options though. You can email Mike to make a specific one you need though.

They removed the listing and put all the 5mm mod1 pinions together click please select and there is a 16t and 20t hardened pinion. :)

Are these hardened steel pinions the real deal. Will these allow me to go back to the steel spur gears? I just want to make sure, since they are kind of pricey.

Does any one know when the spur and the pinion wil be in store?

If you want to get your BL CRT.5 conversion going get a hardened pinion and from the looks of it they should hold up with the steel spur till the new spurs do come out. Depending on the motor your going to run there is a few hardened pinion choices avalible. :)

Do we know if the Century pinions are truely "hardened"? I was looking at Tower again and the material for all sizes except the 14 state "Hardened Steel". Mike only lists two left in his store that are "Hardened".

I found a 14 tooth pinion locally so I'm trying that as soon as I get 2 hours alone to finish my truck.
