Subject: Re: V12 timing gears
Hi Charles,
I did send you an email on 23rd March; it included photos so may have gone to your "junk" folder. Take it the member list email address is correctly stated, with capital "A" in Atkinson?
I'll reply later today re the idler gear by email to you; let me know if you'd like me to re-send the 23rd March one.
You refer to a front thrust washer, do you literally intend "washer"? Mine had a shaped and if I recall correctly, beveled edge copper plated retainer, with a locating ridge on the inner face that made it a pretty tight fit in the spigot.
Doesn't say much for recent Jaguar design! It amazes me the errors (often foolhardy cost-saving related) that modern manufacturers make, given over 100 years of automobile manufacturing lessons learnt.
