Spares and MED gears are the same, all interchangeable. I'm running the timken set and it's much quieter than the Jack Knight Timken set it replaced. |

Paul I don't have any chattering really as I shimmed right up but there is still some, its more the whine now. You said you didnt like the sound of Chris Dillows drops - was that the chattering you didnt like? If so you wont get away from it as you dont shim them. Why are you bothered about the whine? I seriously doubt it! |

It was the chattering really on chris's car that put me off them really. As my car has not got that so I would hate to Up grade To a down grade.

I do like to drive the Mk1 on long drives EEEEGHHHHH......WRONG! You need to live a bit more and use the mini where it works best................ The A, B and unclassified roads 
Sitting on the straight Motorways at constant rpms is just mundane and wrong. If anything the Motorways drive me crazier than the high pitch whine for straight cut drops ! Just my opinion

We go on holiday to Cornwall in the Mini (when its on the road) and never use a three lane black top all the way there.

There is nominally about 0.016" backlash on a se tof SC drops, little bit less in the gears which are the same as the SC /helical CWP, yes about 1mm of backlash in the three sets,
