[Healeys] BN1 BN1 2nd (3rd in the box) gear

[Michael Salter]

After a long and fruitless search for a replacement 1B3625 gear for my BN1
gearbox I'm contemplating doing a limited run of replacement parts.
The idea is to cut an annular gear which will be used to replace the teeth
on original gears.
Initially I will be working on the original pre gearbox # 5146 gear not the
later version which I believe used a different tooth pressure angle.
If anyone out there has one or more of these gears with teeth which are
damaged and therefore unusable I would be happy to pay the postage to get
them  rather than see them thrown out as I suspect I may need several
practice pieces to get the procedure perfected.
I would also like to hear from people who would eventually be interested in
acquiring replacement gears if I manage to come up with a workable solution.
As yet I don't have an estimate of what the completed exchange part will
cost but this will certainly be less than the #500 that I have been quoted
for a good used gear!!!
