[DML] Re: angle-drive housing

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Was afraid of cracking pot metal housing so didn't even attempt.
Unfortunately that's only way to replace spindle cable. I worked with
remaining cable in place instead.

Have only seen gears through lubrication hole. Appear to be worm and
cog, not 45 degree angle. Can try www.mcmaster.com or
www.grainger.com. Perhaps search for online hobby suppliers (source of
1/8" hollow square tube used in repair of my AD).

Am all for original engineering. Is often essential when dealing with
old cars.
