Hello all,
sad to report with my first post that my 950 LM2 bevel box has failed catastrophically because it has been incorrectly assembled by a previous owner. A second hand housing can be obtained, and it appears that all of the internal components are available still. However the 7/33 bevel gear is only available as a repro part, allegedly of chinese construction. A complete SH bevel can be obtained for about 450-500€, no guarantee, no reliable indication of mileage other than a photo of the input and output splines. In theory i could get a complete new item for 8-900€. Several people have warned about using these chinese items, does anybody have personal experience of these components. I am torn between the two choices, without doubt i would get a new box built of spares if a genuine bevel gear was available. Any thoughts appreciated
Andy
