Default 997.1 Gearbox rebuild-which gears?

We opened up the gearbox of my 2009 gen 1 CUP.
It needs all new internals so the question is which gears should we go with?

original Porsche gears?
KMP wider gears?
Do 997.2 gears fit?

Car will be fitted with a paddle shifter and raced in 4h endurance races (VLN).

Looking catastrophic inside (~35 hours of amateur racing):

Matt at Gt gears should be able to get everything you need. Yes wider gears work with appropriate spacers fyi.
let me know if you need additional info.

I'll throw Bill Rader into the mix as well. I've had nothing but superb experience with Bill throughout my 997 days.

Juha,
Got your email. I will reply today when I’m at my desk.

Bill Rader doesn’t make Gears, he uses ours. We no longer make Gears for KMP. Be aware he has a new supplier and I don’t know who they are or their level of quality.

Agreed,if looking for a rebuilder, Bill Rader is great. If looking for gearsets, Matt at GT gears is where I would go...
