gearbox packers

Post by davejb »

Robbie buy some 40x what ever thickness you want your packers to be steel flat . Cut to length and drill 14 mm holes and you have your packers.
You will need sets of 4 if you use this method
Remove 1 bolt and buy new bolts the length of the original plus the thickness of your packers
Tools needed vice, hacksaw and drill

You are going to cut through 12mm steel with a hacksaw??? :shock:
