Subject: 2 Litre Flywheel Ring Gear
My ring gear is very badly worn, resulting in frequent jamming of the Bendix starter. I intend to fit one of the new ring gears which the Club produced some 25 years ago, when John Oliver was Spares Registrar. (Fortunately I bought one at the time!) I understand that the existing worn teeth must be machined-off the flywheel, and the new gear fitted, with the circle of twelve 0.312" dia bolts. But should it be shrunk on as well? Has anyone had experience of this job? Are there any points to bear in mind? Any advice would be very welcome. Alan Elliott
