It may have been a good idea to leave one of the seals in the new bearing, on the outside. It would prevent oil even getting to the oil seal. Baz

Thank you so much for going deeper into the old gear box!
I’d made a new bush for that area too. We had some aluminum nickel bronze bar ends so that’s what I used. I’m curious why you used stainless instead of bronze🤔.
When I installed the new seal it made it turn alot slower. I’’m hoping it wears in eventually. My complete gear assemblys needed some better less-worn  gears which I found on ebay. Just hoping that I got the spacers correct in them. It’s great watching you do all these projects!

Nice work Brian! Do you feel the gearbox bearing will last longer running in oil as opposed to leaving the shielding on and letting it run in it's own grease?

Hi Brian. thanks for the vids - i'm refurbishing a similar box. I noticed you didn't check or shim the end float on the selector shaft or layshaft so the gears mesh well and the dogs are centered. I'm assuming i need to do this... no? yes? thanks

Hello Brian, I have a 1949 BSA A7 plunger with a rumble in 3rd gear, do you happen to take in rebuilds please? Regards Huw (Swansea)
