Has anybody on here cross drilled the input gear on the transfer box.
I know Ashcrofts do a replacment gear to fit in there. I have a spare one that i cross drilled so i know it's not too hard to drill, just trying to save £50 quid on a new one ?
I don't know if they have been heat treated after, I don't want to drill it and it breaks the rest of the box :eek:
 
Aye you can do them yourself.

Drill it, debur it and put it in, you have not changed the metal by drilling it.
 
I know it's not going to change the metal but i didn't want to make it so weak it breaks.
It makes good reading thanks for that, all i have to do now is wait for it to get warmer so i can cycle to work and i'll get it drilled out
 
My input gear has had it so I will need to buy one and do it in the better weather.

I also appreciate the output shaft will probably be worn so I will sort it all out in one go - Ashcrofts here I come.
 
the tranny box is simple, very simple, whereas the gearbox is a much bigger task - but if your logical about things give it a go

every man should have rebuilt a gearbox before they die
