Hi guys, well I now have both my S3 box and 2a box bell housings off now. The problem I face now is the bearings for the Lay shafts are different sizes:



As you can see this does cause a problem. The bearings holes in the bell housings are also different which makes sense.



So how have folks sorted this problem? I have either thought to find a bearing that will fit a 62mm OD and a 19mm ID 17mm thick. Or would a spacer work and use an orignal S3 bearing.

Another question is the Series3 box is a suffix "D" what is the difference between this and the "C" and lower? Is it just a gear ratio change? as these parts fit the 2a box so long as I use both the input shaft and lay gear together.

Any pointers will be helpful!

After doing some searching found out that a bearing does not exist of the dimesions required. So it's going to be a spacer. I have made a test spacer from nylon to see how it works. It works very well.





So would anyone have a suggestion of what material this would be best made from, thinking possible either stainless or hardened steel.
