Fellas, in the process of fitting new sprockets and 530 chain, anyway removal of old
gearbox sprocket has revealed the 5th gear spline has excess wear, (1mm off side of raised edge) what to do ?

Can it be repaired ? Do i need to source another ? Or can i put some goo on it for the
interim ?

Hi Dave the wear you see on that 5th gear output shaft is quite common and not realy repairable, I had the same issue on my Jota and had to do a few other internal repaires so when the time was right out came the motor dissasembled split in half and replaced, this sounds more dificult than it is but is the only way to do it correctly.
Hey are you going to the festival of Italian Motorcycles?
Cheers M.
 
G,day Maurice,

Thought as much, bugger, 21st heading up to Broady to do a bit of flat trakkin
with the young bloke so wont make the Festival in Coburg (unless we cop a wet one)

Still got them cans and may even have them bars (dont know how tru they are)

When I was resurrecting an old fordson dexta tractor it had a stuffed spline for the pto.  I couldn't get a replacement for that particular model but an engineering shop was able to weld in the gaps and remachine it to what looked like new. Maybe that would be possible?
