Austin Branson Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Greetings Oh Sage Ones, My angle drive has broken again. This is the fourth. I've changed the speedometer cable, and had the instrument re-furbished. Has anyone got a source of angle drives not made of re-cycled dog poo? Or has anyone gone to an electronic version? This is getting desperate! Regards, Austin Edited August 10, 2016 by Austin Branson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Austin Branson Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Hi Austin Were the angle drives original or repro ones? Almost certainly repro's. I didn't know originals were still available. I got them from TRshop, London. Austin Cheers Mike. Edited August 11, 2016 by Austin Branson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi Austin, although it doesn't show it in the cat I'm sure Moss do two qualities of drive - cheap and OE. Whatever you get try and operate it by hand, pulling and pushing the input/output shafts. If it feels fine then it will probably be OK. If it feels rough/iffy then it will fail quickly.
