Does anyone know the correct size of the double hex nuts on the 5th gear end of the gear shafts? Is it 28?
Doc as you know I'm changing the diff, do I need to swap the speedo drive too and will it read correctly on the current dial?

Re: Gear Box Nuts
speedo drive unit is a piece of piss to remove. The xantia mechanical ones are the same as the BX ones, so i suspect they are infact the same accros the range. However i tend to keep the guage/drive sets together where i can!

Well the diff is off smiffys ZX, so I guess the drive must come with it to mesh proper like. Then there is whether it'll match the speedo head in a bx????....There he goes, one of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production......too weird too live.....and too rare to die

Re: Gear Box Nuts
Erm, I thought the nuts were 30mm TBH, but it's been a long long time, and I'm a very old man..
No mate the speedo will be about 10% inaccurate.

Re: Gear Box Nuts
How much too big?
Maybe they are 28 then?
I'll find out tomorrow for you if you like?

Re: Gear Box Nuts
Well he said it was a midges under 28 mm ergo 1" and 3/32's = 27.9 mm = 4 thou under 
Sorry can't add up read = 27.8 mm = 8 thou under which by my reckoning is a perfect socket fit.
