Hello folks, Just wondering if anyone can help out with / sell me any of these parts!

 

A set of large journal (not Cooper) 1275 con rods preferably extracted from a single engine. I would probably prefer the pre A+ 1275GT type as they are made of a slightly superior material, but don't mind if they're the A+ type, just so long as the area on either side of the little end hasn't been ground down excessively thin! A set of innocentis would be glorious, but I might be dreaming a bit there!

 

A 3.444 ratio (62/18 tooth count) crownwheel and pinion, preferably pre A+ (square topped teeth) as they were stronger, as my A+ one has some severe stress related pitting and cracks.

 

And finally, some genuine quality Torrington, Timken, or Koyo A+ idler gear bearings, they seem to be quite hard to come by. I did order some from an online shop which when delivered I discovered were made by KOR, I've heard bad things about them, and these particular ones are rougher than sandpaper toilet roll!!

 

If anyone can help me tick off 1, 2 or all 3 items from my shopping list I would be incredibly grateful!

 

Ta muchly!

Thanks KTS, I've been keeping an eye out for his stock of idler bearings to come back in for a little while now, it seems there's a bit of a shortage all round! Good shout about the CW & P, Being a gearbox specialist he's bound to have something!
