[QUOTE="Ichy500, post: 4228, member: 103"] [b]just a try to remember[/b] Hello Vic, it`s me, Thomas from Col des alpes 2006. I see you hate it is as well to fight with the burman gearbox` unmaintainability and grease and confusing paperwork. I remember :confused: that in my gearbox the spring case is covered both sides with a thin metal sheet ( approx. 1mm thickness) with the same conture as the casting. So the springs are unable to come out of the spring case sideways. I never had seen such sheets on a burman drawing or parts list. But I think, it`s a good idea. Only have a look , if there is enough space for this sheets. I did not understand, which loose nut you described. Is this the one, which helds the sector plate, the actuator of the cam spindle ? Anyway, you got it fixed. Good luck in finishing your Comet. See you and Charlie at the "Col des massif central 2008". Jean Marie will have once again very good routes for us and enough red wine and very good meals. Last weekend I tried to find the reason for bad vibrations from the gear train of my Comet. The reason was the big idler ( a steel one with cast iron centre) with a non parallel centrehole with the teeth direction. A lot of pitting at only the sides of the teeth because of the tumbling pinion when mashing incorrect with the other pinions after only 5000 miles. So I learned another lesson - never use Vincent spare parts without income inspection. Best Regards Thomas [/QUOTE]
