Ah the finger of fudge test - lovely.

Hello all,
Hope everyone had/is having a nice holiday break.

Sorting out transmission shafts and found a roller bearing cage that I can't identify where it's from?

I have the 20mm and 22mm roller bearings already sorted. Can anyone point me to where this 28mm unit belongs?

looks to be from the primary shaft

Looks a bit like the cage that sits on one end of the shafts in the box, does it fit in that recessed cup you’re showing there Dave? It should do if that’s it. The other end is the conical oil feed that rotates. Not sure if that’s the right terminology or not. Do those rollers come out of it and sit loose?

I have a pair of spares if you need.

Hmm, well I thought I already had the two bearings needed for the countershaft and primary shaft?

The cage in the middle doesn't fit into either housing 😕

OK figured it out, it's the needle roller bearing for the starter gear.

On the transmission countershaft, I took off the spacer ring but im not sure where it's supposed to sit once reinstalled?

Is there a reference mark? Or should it be pressed against the bearing once that is installed?

[Oddjob]

Yeah, I'd butt it up against the bearing, once that's installed in the correct position of course.

Ok, so my thought here is to install circlip, press bearing until it butts up against the bearing then press the ring against the bearing.

Check in parts book to see if any O rings fitted

[Oddjob]

If you look carefully you can see a ring around the shaft, that looks to be where it was sat originally. There is a small o-ring between the bearing and the collar, don't forget that.

Or ask someone to measure the distance it's sat from the end of the shaft.

Yep, got a new o-ring as well for this.

I guess if anyone has a countershaft laying around, a measurement would be great

Hello all,

Primary shaft installation - is this correct?

The bearing ID sits on a spline, with a reduced ratio spline sticking out the drive oil pump?

[Oddjob]

Yeah, the splines drive the gear on the back of the oil pump.

I'm trying to source new cap head bolts for the engine, but M6x32 bolts are not a common size and by my count I need another 20 of these.

Found a kit on ebay that has the required parts for the covers including some M6x32 cap heads.

Do you know where I could source these, as a straight up google search doesn't yield any decent results? Or do I just cut a bunch of M6x35 down to size?

I bought a kit for mine bur didnt use it Dave, you need it posting up?
