Surely titanium would not lend itself to gear usage ? 9.85 @ 145mph

I didn't think so I must admit, but Carl is the man to comment really.

Correct, Stevie, it would last a few miles then knarl to pieces.

He might have had the gears TiN coated (Titainium Nitride) but I'd not have thought that surfac wear would be the real issue or that TiN would be the right coating to choose even if it was!!!! Every day is a school day ...........

I think gears should be made of steel and nothink else. What else can be case hardened? Back once again like a renegade master |

I reckon gears will be of some kind of steel. Not much knowledge on titanium, I know its light, but is it soft light ally? On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

Some of the earlier A+ cases used 4 bolts to hold the bearing retainer down ..... these are weaker than the 3 bolt type as the web cracks through the 4th bolt hole. Other than that a a rod change case is pretty much a case ..... the remote type are rumoured by some to be of better material but I'd not put too much faith in that myself. Every day is a school day ...........

Has anyone ever welded bracing around the "4th" hole on the A+ boxes to try and stop them cracking too ( I know they dont have the hole )

roger i agree, wearing isn't the issue, as mine break and there aren't really worn.

I've got to do some thing i just don't know what sort of treatment yet. the treatment you need matt is to loose a whole chunk of weight from your car and the box will undoubtably last a lot longer, |

A bit of saturday morning food for thought. I was reading through a old copy of mag and it featured Werner Stommel's turbo (one of my favorite modified minis) which appartently runs a titanium gearset. I reckon it was a titanium gearbox casing

They have a wider web at the bottom dont they? Nearly every helical gear ive seen broke on here is close to or at the bottom of the gear tooth.
