I would get the best quality one you can. Dont skimp as it will not last.

I understand swifty have had some made that are the best you can get (they had to do this - for their own gearkits)

best one to get in my opion is a standard original out of a 998 box, seem to last alot longer than any style of new one i have used or fitted, plus the use of millers cvt seems to make a difference to.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

I got a couple from Australia. Comp-ones. Suposedly very good, but I haven't taken one out yet to see.

thanks guys,

Vegard, i have heard the MG Heritage parts supplier here in Sydney has good ones, i am not sure who makes them but i was just checking the ones in UK too.
i will prob buy this aussie one and go from their.

if anyone want to contact this Aussie place thier web is www.mgspareparts.com.au but they do not list it on their site but they do sell them.

at my old college we had the equipment to do propper hardness tests, called the vickers test or somthing along those lines a diamond tip is pressed into the metal and then recorded onto the computor, obviously the more pressure requires to push into the material the harder it is
id doubt id be able to use it tho, not been to even say Hi in over a year

rockwell?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i dont know what rockwell test it, just by looking at google images the test equipment looks similar so could i guess be different name or just a different proceadure for the same outcome

David.

if anyone has old ones going spare they could send it to me, my friends still there (at college) and recons he could get it hardness tested

David.

im still at the college mini93 and i went to. if someone can supply me with one of each i can test them when i go back in january. we use the test mini93 described above. surely this is the only way to know for certain which is stronger?

I have a brand spanking new standard Minispares layshaft that is bolloxed and unused, it wasnt machined right. Its one that is supplied in their rebuild kits, cant remember the part number off the top of my head.

Yours for testing!!

Who wants it and where to send it?

as dans at the college, would be better to send to him i guess, but i believe you might already have my address (if you still have it anyway)
up to you or dan...hmm

David.

Does anyone know how they are hardened?
Is it induction hardened just at the bearing locations or are they case hardened and ground
Regards
Dave

they look induction hardened at the baering journals

Bet they didn't used to be

Dave

pm on its way to sprocket
