Where can I buy a replacement gear from? Thanks to all.

It would be easy enough for me to take one off my scrapped Bentley Turbo R that I bought as a source of parts. The trouble is, it would have the same age related brittleness that will cause it to eventually fail again. I was hoping to be able to buy a new part made from fresh plastic that can at least survive another decade or two. The search goes on.   Peter Talbot Prolific User Username: squerryes Post Number: 107 Registered: 7-2010 Posted on Sunday, 01 April, 2012 - 08:34:    Omar As you can salvage an example of the required gear from your scrapped Turbo R, why not use this as a template to cast a plastic replica gear? As a first step I suggest you contact a local dental technician for advice - think plastic plates for false teeth. Peter
