What did i miss
Need to contact party who spoke about using a 17 tooth speedometer drive gear from Brattons and a gear case housing from Mack's with a 3.25 ring and pinion in my 38 Cabriolet. I did and it ate up the fiber gear.

[QUOTE=Tinker;1679679]If you are talking about your fiber timing gear. That happens.
I presume he is talking about the driven gear in the turtle, not the timing gear. I am running a 17 tooth Bratton gear in a turtle from Mac's, which is unmarked, but purported to be the height for an 18 tooth gear. That is supposed to give enough gear engagement to work okay. I filed the mating surface down a bit and put mine together without a gasket to bring the turtle a few thousandths closer to the drive gear. It has been working okay for about 1000 miles. Be sure to use a new shaft for the gear, as any wear might allow the driven gear to move farther from the drive gear |

Using an unmaked turtle housing purchased from MAC's is suspect to me as being the probable reason why your gear stripped, most likely due to poor gear mesh.
