Reverse Detent Ball
« on: Thursday,November 17, 2022, 08:03:05 AM »
I have lost the reverse detent ball of my  352 box. The hole in the alloy housing measures  1/2" but i think the one i have lost was smaller than  1/2".  If anyone has one could they measure it for me. i will go to the local bearing factors and get one.  Thanks  Stuart....

Thanks for that 4129R  and TurboFource. I seemed to think mine was a bit smaller,must have been having a senior moment. Will try and pick one up tomorrow.  Stuart...

I needed a new ball for my detent so bought a bag of 1/2" hardened steel ball bearings
as I couldn't get a single one.

If anyone needs one just PM me, postage plus £1.00
