Gearbox set rings
« on: August 23, 2016, 04:25:13 PM »
This may be pretty basic stuff, but bear with me, I was raised on British twins and other primitive technology.

I can see the point of the set rings in the gearbox, to stop things moving sideways, but is there just one per bearing? Does it go half in each case, or doesn't it matter?

I seem to be missing a couple, but before I go on a parts hunt I need to be sure of what there should be.

1978 VW Bay Window camper van

One per bearing .. may have spare if you need but would have to check.
