RE: [DML] Re: WANTED: Angle Drive

[<rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Darryl,

 

I agree with you on the gear material. I have rebuilt several hundred
original angle drives and have never seen plastic gears utilized. Maybe
David T. could share with us any information he has on ?plastic gears? and
if he has actually seen a set.

I've been waiting for the "experts" to comment on this, but no one has taken
the bait so guess I will. In 18 years of DeLorean ownership and selling
parts not once did I ever encounter plastic angle drive gears. I also
checked with PNDC founder Arnie Brandon who has rebuilt more of them than
anyone else I know, and he also said they all have metal gears. The problems
with them include lack of lubrication, binding of cables, and overall poor
design, but not plastic gears.
