[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 63120, member: 2879"] Hi Bill, the nylon pinion was developed for the early Alton because the standard steel one causes a lot of wear on the center of the triplex chain for just the reason you mention, the shock loading of the rollers and the sprocket teeth as the Alton goes past the magnets. I can probably get by with steel for a while until I can get a new nylon one. I also think I am going to take out the ET 164, since it probably doesn't do much in this application anyway, and the Alton is sealed. this should give me the clearance I need. I have just sent an email to Paul Hamon at Alton's about this to get his advice. Ron [/QUOTE]
