Hello,
I have a very odd request. I am looking to source a specific manufacturer of Model T cam gears. I believe these to be quite old but I have been unable to figure out who made them or how to identify them if I want to locate more.
Over the years I have noticed pictures of cam gears, usually when one blows up, that look like the ones below. Note in particular that the materials these are made from is this odd greenish fiber mixture, often with other colors mixed in. This differs from lots of fiber gears made from micarta or other pressed cloth/fiber/rags that are usually brown/black.
Here are some examples, almost all I found on these forums:
I have mixed interest in these, mainly in that I both collect and make things out of these and they have a really cool pattern and are made of nice dense materials. I enjoy the history of them being on classic cars as part of that! These particular gears seem to be "around" but I've only been able to acquire one like these pictures recently in a random classifieds here.
If there is ANY group of individuals that could help in this search, you are the ones!
If by any remote chance you have one like these laying around, even in pretty destroyed condition let me know!

HI!
I am still looking for any of these gears. Someone snatched the gear above from Dan before I messaged him. Condition isnt a huge issue. Shoot me a message/email.
