You are correct in your assumption, a floating bush should just slip in. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Also, they don't work in all SC primaries as they can block the oil holes. Certainly JKD ones are no good with them. |

I tried with oil, a bit of heat on the gear and cooling the bush but still no luck. Will see what mini spares say and try a little wet and dry on the bush to. On 23rd Feb, 2014 graemec said:

Before spares started making there own, they used to sell Jack Knight SC drops. I had exactly the same issue with mine. You have 2 options, get a bush made. Or buy a new set of gears. |

you sure you have the floating bush? maybe its been packaged wrong or simply dispatched the wrong item Its definitely the floating type as the others are a split bush and this has a chamfer one each end. Although it does have machine marks on the outer surface. Edited by jonny f on 23rd Feb, 2014. |

I had the same issue, and ended up making my own. If its a floating bush, it should have enough clearance on both faces for a film of oil. so if it won't drop it its too big.

Can you measure the bush, and bore of the primary to see how much needs taking off? I'll take it in to work tomorrow and measure it properly. Only have callipers at home. I could probably get the gear machined or even the bush to suit. Cheapest option! |

That's what I was thinking. If its only a couple of thou, stick it on a mandrel and machine it off. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

They've updated the website so it actually tells you it doesn't fit.

Make sure it can't cover the oil holes, it will overheat and seize onto the crank - been there, done that. |

I was hoping a small step would be sufficient. Room to let the oil out if the bush moved down that way. |

Reading this - http://www.minispares.com/product/classic/C-AEA3240.aspx - it says that you can't use the floating bush on an A+ gear. How do you tell which is which and what would happen if I put it in an A+ gear? Oil holes blocked? On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
i tried putting soap on it , and heating it to brown , then slathered my new lube on it

Andy, I've used the floating bush on the A+ gear. I'm pretty sure the Minispares description never had that line of text when I bought mine. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Mine did not fit, it would if pressed in possibly, but that's not the best idea.

A+ gears have more teeth than pre-A+.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |
