Pre-unit gearbox sprocket nut
« on: 24 March, 2018, 07:59:44 »
Hi Guys
I have a couple of questions concerning the ringnut that secures the gearbox sprocket.
Firstly can anyone confirm the thread form eg TPI?
Secondly has anyone had problems with the SRM replacement part (st stl hex with built-in seal) fitting their sleeve gear; what was the problem and what did you do about it?

Cheers
Russ

I believe the nut is 1 3/16" x 24 TPI; essentially, a BSC thread.

I fitted an SRM sprocket nut to my A10 some years back. The thread form was perfect, however the seal was quite tight on the gearshaft when first assembled. A worthwhile modification, stopping the oil seeping along the sleeve gear bshes and allowing proper tightening ofthe nut.

If you are having a problem with the nut suggest phone SRM and discuss.
