Title: 365 speedo drive gearbox
Post by: buzzer on Tuesday,June 06, 2017, 07:40:03 AM

I am trying to sort out the plastic insert that sits inside the rear of the 365 gearbox that drives the speedo. I seemed to remember that someone on here had measured it up and planned to make one. I am after the dimensions of the unit so I can get one made here in the UK. does anyone have the drawings of this insert?

That would be member named gearbox. I think he had a dozen or so made up. I had a photo somewhere, as he used the drive from my gearbox for the pattern. I cannot seem to find it though.

Did you have any luck getting that part?

I need the big round plastic plug, and the plastic gear which drives the cable inner, as one of my gearboxes has those bits missing.

Yes I did manage to get one, I’ll have to check the records where I got it from.

I was just on RD Enterprises site. They have both the insert and gear, I think.
