external gears failing

[madmax]

as alot of you guys know their has been a problem with the recent batch of external gears failing, so myself and the help of my friend tony we have modified the layshaft to take a steel pinion as we think that it is the alloy gear what has been the problem

will have pics up tonight and the car will have its first fun on sunday at southport so will let you guys know how it goes.
