The use of the 127 tooth gear for metric threads on the imperial HLV*s needs a larger cover. I assume that the larger cover came with the conversion set/option. I've got a metric banjo, which I use fairly often, but I have to leave the door chocked open to fit the 127T gear in. I'd like to cast a replacement cover but I have one question relating to it:-
Is the right hand/fixed side of the housing fixed to the existing gearbox endplate or does it replace the original endplate? If it's the former, I can make a casting to fit. If it's the latter, then I've got to get some cast iron and do some milling!
