Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Well you can forget about all that bragging from me about having a perfect gearbox! Closer inspection revealed a few missing teeth on the herringbone gears. Owch! In the past with Harley and other motorcycle boxes I have successfully built up teeth with a specialist oxy acetylene rod , called "sif bronze" on this side of the pond. I suppose I will give it a go as long as there are not 2 adjacent teeth it seems to hold up. Of course if new gears are available I will go that route.
Thanks for the info guys, it's a great help.
