Steve/Listers
When we left Hawaii nearly ten years ago, I went through a purge of used da=
maged parts or parts that were not worth the effort. At that time I had a b=
ox of used angle drives, probably 20-25, maybe more and not one was usable.=
Either the cover plate was missing, the gears were chewed up or some othe=
r self destruction issue. There were a lot of the units that were totally d=
ry inside. Even had on that looked like it had melted. I never figured that=
one out.
The best of the bits were gathered up and the rest were tossed. As it turn=
ed out there was lots of room in the shipping containers and those little p=
arts would have fit easily. Still shipped 19,000 pounds of parts including =
a hundred shock cores and other seemingly eternal Austin Healey parts like =
brake drums, a monumental amount of brake shoes and many suspension bits, b=
ut that is a different story. =20
Perhaps at what ever interval the gearbox/OD cover is removed for any maint=
enance that it would be a good idea to squeeze a little bit of grease into =
the unit. I guess it would be good to lube your speedo cable at the same ti=
me. Don=E2=80=99t overdo it as too much grease will produce a negative outc=
ome. =F0=9F=98=8A
