In a conversation with him ages ago he had a set and it ended up with a local fella to him doing transaxles and he was going to ask if they were still around and available. Might be a dead end but work asking.
OR
If you are going to remake them ask Andy Jones as he does his own transaxles and must have at least the assembly jig and couple of unique pullers.Might be able to borrow and copy ?
Surprised Bob did not have any, he collects these period tools as an extra hobby.
Great stuff Gary, I have heard it said the correct pullers, drifts and so on are not needed but I cant see how the job can be done properly without them.
I started a section here Gary to store images of what all these special tools look like
Images And Dimensions Of Special Tools - Technical Reference Area The Hillman Imp Forum for advice Impressions good bad or otherwise
If you get some time could you ad the pictures with the numbers in there please, every time someone mentions a tool number I can never picture what they look like or if i can make/reuse something else o do same job.
Are you planning to remake any of them ?
Dave has the RG366 I think and did a dimensioned drawing at one time Dave Lane
Bob Allan also has the RG365 listed for sale (two sets) whch is the gearbox assembly jig. You asked him if you can borrow one to copy ?
I bet there are loads of those you will be able to remake easilly.
A few years back i tried to hunt down a set to do the same, ended up getting the transaxles done by Dave Weedon but would have preferred to at least have given it a go myself.
I asked Bob he has nothing now RG 366 is there too and I have all the drgs for the others but you can probably do it without them it's the pinion tool RG 365 you can't do without if you want to do it properly
I would never attempt it without ,if I couldn't get the tools I would have sent the box for refurb
After a little bit of tuition yesterday I understand how important the tool is now
Hi made this tool up today to the dimensions in the manual it for reassembly of the later synchro hubs
if you look at the c dimensions on both pieces if 1 slot if offset they can't possibly be the same . As the top 1 that is equal about the centre is a snug sliding fit across the diameter of the hub the offset 1 has to be smaller
No time to finish today when I sort the correct dimensions I'll post it
best regards Gary
On the later synchro the sliding keys don't have springs and balls they have an internal grove in the bulk ring ,a thin snap ring type spring fits in it this is to hold it in place while you fit the 3sliding keys
Tapped all the bearings out today ,put them in the oven at 100degs for 20 mins says 30 in manual but aluminium transfers heat so well it only needed 15/20 minutes no special tools just suitable size sockets reversed so they've got a good flat end and they came out easily. You can also see the pinion head and tail shims
best regards Gary
