Hi John,

I've never had the chance to pull one of these down but I guess the drive gear has had it's day as it's cracked all around the hub area and thus is probably slipping and no longer providing any drive.

Looks like you'll get to use that gear you've purchased after all. Now the question beckons, how long will that gear last before it to fails ??

If only there were more of those metal reproductions left around to buy and install, maybe then they would've gotten such a bad rap.

Cheers,
BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
