Hi beeps, help needed.

It seems the gearbox had a pretty hard live in my 20k mls (!) Inno, with a (previously not so well welded) cracked casing. Due to impact through the Inno sump guard
Almost every bearing with spalling or broken cages. The layshaft worn out, a broken final drive gear bolt just loosely held in place by the tab-washer and a reverse gear that looks like some rodent’s been nibbling on it.

I am very unwilling to re-use this reverse idler, but haven't found a replacement at the usual suspects - they are 'N.L.A' at MS and out-of-stock at Minisport.
Options:

• find a used one in good nick - has anyone here got one spare?

• going the OTT route of metal spraying and regrinding the existing one.

What is your opinion and experience? Is this wear something not so unusual? Any good advice wellcome as this currently is a bit of a spanner in the works of the gearbox rebuild.

Guessworks is the place to ask. And to be honest where do you think it is worn? Hard to see in that pic.

Nick, if you look at the teeth on the upper side of the Pic, it is a bit hard to see, but they are worn right through the case.

Oh yes. Zoomed in and it’s like cheese.

Just a thought here. I might just have one of those.
