I never went as far as stripping the input shaft as I couldn't get the needle roller race off it not even with heat. I would like to rebuild it at a later date somehow as it does make cruising more tolerable

Rob that's the thing I don't trust it I don't want to loose drive. The fairey is a weak unit doesn't hold enough oil splines made of cheese leaks needs weekly oil checks noisy etc etc. Though in saying that they do increase top speed and keep the revs down especially in the 2.25d.

Sorry jamesmartin misread your post. How much are you looking for them?

Hi as title says looking for the bits to delete the fairey od on my 1972 s3.

I think il just stick a gear on til I get round to the od thank you very much for the offer JamesMartin but il just use the missus car for now

Yes that's what's Im worried about the splines in the od that as you say look OK at first glance mabe first 2mm from the edge but are razor sharp after that. TBH I just rant rid of the od after the trouble it's caused so if anyone has a standard gear and cover for sale let me know

Don't know if you can see on the pic but the splines on the mainshaft of the od seem badly worn as they are sharp

Haven't touched the clutch sleeve or the lock washer I did have a problem with a bearing race being stuck the one that holds the mainshaft the one that's visible with the rear ball bearings and gear removed a needle bearing sits on it

Should also add you can move the input gear in and out on the mainshaft about 1mm is this normal?

Cheers for the info il have a look at the tab washer and I think there may be some grease where the bush sits in as I greased the splines not thinking not to get any grease on the bush!

All the seals were changed as it leaked from everywhere

Hi all after removing my overdrive and doing the seals upon refitting try as we might the od just will not Bolt down the nuts only go so far leaving about quarter inch gap between the od and tb mating surfaces iv had the tb cover off and the input gear is meshed but it just will not go any...

Hopefully the problem is sorted pared the outer edge of the shoes off a bit more adjusted them up took it for a run concerned at first as the first couple of brake applications it pulled to one side but then it evened out brakes are much more powerful than what they were almost like a modern...

I'l have a go at freeing them but haven't got any feeler gauges as a lot of my tools are stuck at my dads

Never mind that last post you mean the posts behind the shoes? Again how do I set these up? Cheers.

Oh yes I know the ones where the spring attaches to i haven't messed with those how do you set them up? Cheers Dave.

The posts where the snail cams engage? Yes they appear to be fine no bushings though.

Pedal height and free play bang on also checked the wheel bearings no play in those either

Cheers I'l measure the pedal height free play seems OK. I think the problem is the damn shoes are too wide! Or the bearmach drums too narrow. These aftermarket brake parts are absolute carp even the branded stuff!

Ive just filed down the outer edge of the shoes and it's a lot better still a tight spot but nothing like it was il do the other side tommorow and take it for a drive see if they bed in a bit. I've adjusted the passenger side up and the pedal is feeling better hopefully be back to normal after I...
