Paterson speedo drive gear.

I have a Paterson speedo drive which has a spiral bronze gear inside the transmission and has a special transmission cover plate. I need a replacement fibre gear that goes on the end of the shaft and is driven by the spiral gear. Does anyone have/know of a source for same?

Tim Morsher had some made a couple years ago, he may still have one??

Thanks Joe. I have emailed Tim. Does anyone know of an alternative source if Tim has none?

What number of teeth do you need? When I used to see NOS gears around, they were for 4:1 diffs or trucks. I don't think I have any drive pieces left, but may still have a brochure with the ratios listed.

Thanks Bruce, I will call you. The one on my drive was a 10 tooth gear, but I am not that fussy. any gear will be better than none.
I drew a blank with Tim Morsher as a source. He has sold out. Did anyone out there purchase a couple of his gears, and holds one as a spare?
The top right hand corner screw hole in the cover is the normal round hole. All the others are slotted, suggesting the cover has to be screwed around a bit to get the gear to mesh with the spiral gear on the trans. Does anyone have info/instructions on this?
