lumens Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I picked up some brass drive gears marked Datsun. They do not fit any L series. They look a lot to me like A series Distributor drive gear. Let me know if interested. I plan on taking them to the next vintage race in July. I guess images cannot be attached from my computer. $75 each shipping included. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Can't figure out why they are popular for racing. Brass is soft. Quote Link to comment
EDM620 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 In general, softness usually for noise reduction at the expense of life, similar to nylon toothed gears. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 But this was for racing or preferred for racing so.... ? 1 Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I think he was saying he will have them with him at a vintage racing event, not that they were for racing. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I think the brass ones were in the early L16s and are looked for by racers. Isn't that in the "How To Build and Race Your Datsun book? Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 They'll last a decent amount of time but not forever. Price is far too steep especially not even knowing what they're for. $20-50 would be more accurate. Quote Link to comment
Antons1200 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Are these gears still available. ? Quote Link to comment
