Jack -
John is right, but it's actually more complicated than that. there
are 4 types of gears commonly used in BN1 boxes:
1) Very Early BN1 used one set
2) All other BN1s used another set with a slightly revised helical
angle (this gear is in probably about 90% of the boxes out there)
3) A third set which was an attempt by the factory to fix weak third
gear and were sold as a complete set to replace gear sets in broken
boxes (and used in gold seal repaired boxes)
4) Gears stolen from A90 Atlantic boxes which was very common in
Australia and NZ, as they had lots of derelict A90s and a
disproportionate number of BN1s vs other models on the road.
Best thing to do is to let us know the part number on the current
laygear then and only then can it be properly matched.
Best,
Alan
