IIRC, the 6-cyl drivers aren't terribly expensive, but last I
checked the 4-cyl drives were a couple hundred bucks. My dad and I
spent a weekend rebuilding one; works great with a rebuilt speedo.
Now, if I could only get the tach to behave.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">When we left Hawaii nearly ten years ago, I
went through a purge of used damaged parts or parts that were
not worth the effort. At that time I had a box 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 other self destruction issue. There were a lot of the
units that were totally dry inside. Even had on that looked
like it had melted. I never figured that one out.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The best of the bits were gathered up and
the rest were tossed. As it turned out there was lots of room
in the shipping containers and those little parts 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, but that is a different story. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps at what ever interval the
gearbox/OD cover is removed for any maintenance 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 time. Don’t overdo it as too much grease will produce
a negative outcome. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Since the
location of the screw on the angle drives for BJ7s and BJ8s
makes it quite an operation to use it for lubrication
purposes, I conclude that the screw is just there for when
the same drive is used on other vehicles with better
access. I bet very few BJ7/BJ8 owners have ever
lubricated the angle drive, so it must not be critical.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
