Thread: Original parts needed

I've got a NOS shaft or two, from a deceased estate, but I think they're SII ones.

Auto Spares Galore in Ferntree Gully had some NOS genuine gearbox stuff when I was looking once, but not the suffix I was after.

Don't try calling them, they don't have a cataloging system. Basically you go there and ask for what you want (hope they're not busy), and they dissappear into the back room and emerge some time later with or without the part. Prices are very reasonable. I can see what I have and you can have it for FREE if it suits.

If I don't reply either way by tomorrow (Thurs), send me a PM reminder.

thanks michael 2..have you had any time to check your nos shafts to see if you have a frc2084..let me know.. i have had to prompt Lrseries in theh uk to actually get around to ship the "genuine" parts..i fear that th the rot is starting to set in.. i will bet a dollar that they are rubbish..ji ust have that feeling....hmmmmmm

ok got my parts from lrseries (after prompting them twice for a shipping date) and the answer is ho hum........the reverse idler gear sems ok on the good side and the layshaft seems ok but on the downside of good.. i took them down to fred smith and he was non plussed(as usual).. everything seemed good when i got the parcel and unwrapped it and saw teh genuine parts box..then after untaping it i saw a different part number as to what i ordered and a quick search of the net told me that it was incorrect part number..once opened the box i realised that the part inside was actually correct..phew.. then the stark reality set in that i had been sent a crap part in a genuine box.. i will pop in and see fred tomorrow and deliver the verdict..at this stage its 50/50..it looks like i have spent the best part of 600 oz and got niohing but rubbish..tbd though
