Pre '50 Longstroke complete Parts lists ?
« on: 07.03. 2016 11:17 »
 I didn't want to hijack the current RGS debate, so having said that, whilst searching for info on Longstroke  gearboxes, it seems the "Longstroke Engine" section is a bit exclusive to engine only and doesn't also include gearbox or other stuff  pre Engines # AA7101 ZA10 1215
 I'm sure there's plenty use for parts lists...??

 Am I wrong in saying the Longstroke box is slightly different to the later ones, very similar except different gears/dogs and minor cosmetics...?

Yeah Dutch, you are wrong about the box. The original type was used into the early Flash production.

 Yo Trev, well not completely wrong, I figured that the A10's up to ~'50 which I gather is when the A7 Longstrokes finished, did some research last night, and have found the part numbers on DragAnfly for what it's worth- they don't have the layshaft constant-mesh I need to replace.
 Some parts are listed as '47-'49, some '48-'49, some '48-'50, and some '47-'50  *pull hair out*

  I already determined the main difference being in the dog arrangement (as per photo with pre-requisite circles and arrows) and sprocket seal, outer cover/w kick return spring, the camplate detent plunger has a chisel end instead of a point, and maybe a couple of other things.

 
  I have a couple of the later boxes, one which came on the 23.12.52 engine (into which I grafted C/R gears) so I think I'll reno a STD one of those to keep it simple.
 
 The only issue with this earl box, is whine and slipping out of third gear, but I'll go to that thread.
