SpectraG Closed Tail Gear Box - Replacement Parts.

malc1 · 05-12-2012, 04:11 PM

I have developed an amount of sideways play in my Spectra G Tail Gear box output shaft.

Any idea if there is a list of replacement parts available to 'refurb' this?

I can't find any reference to spare parts that may be available.

Any idea of what may be required?

Pretty well all that can cause sideways float is the grubscrews in the output shaft gear being loose enough to let the gear slide on the shaft; that'd give you lots of backlash between the gears in the tail box......

Would be a new tail case. I attribute that to some wear and tear where the bearings would fit in the case either from crash damage (bent tail rotor shafts) or just usage over the years.
