336 speedo drive gear
« on: Wednesday,October 05, 2022, 11:17:18 AM »
I've read these are no longer available for some time, is this still the case? I suppose I'm hoping with the rise in 3D printing availability someone might have made some........

There is the drive gear which part of the nut holding gears on the pinion shaft.  And there is the driven gear which is inserted in a plastic holder in the side of the rear housing.
  The latter is available fromLotus suppliers.  The former is very tough to find.  Best to try fora used one from a donor transaxle.

Thanks both for replies, I've emailed Lotus Supplies but had no response yet.
It is the driven gear I'm after so it sounds like there's hope for me!

If they take after Richard (who sold them the parts business), you'll need to call them on the phone.

I just order what I want off their site and they send me an invoice.  No problems.
