It was introduced via an effort by Chris Melia for the GT40 builders when obtaining a ZF and getting it flipped was an 18 month ordeal. ZF's are plentiful again and the Quaife costs about the same, so why mess around. There were also some failures reported in hard use and as stated no Pantera orientation version despite why the Quaife website may say.
