[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 35027, member: 99"] After 45 years of apparent contentment the endplate - the one with the grease nipple - on my Rapide speedo gearbox has jumped ship. I don't know when this happened. I only noticed it when I came to check the front tyre pressure. If anyone has one of these they can sell me I should be most grateful or if they can point me in the right direction to obtain one. I don't know why it jumped ship. The gearbox has worked perfectly with the odd splodge of grease for the aforementioned 45 years. Having never had cause to dismantle the gearbox I am a bit ignorant as to its workings. The other end plate is secured with a split pin. The grease nipple plate is 'staked'. This seems odd as there is no inner shoulder for it to bear on and I am not sure how this Staking was supposed to work exactly or what clearance there should be. Any information gratefully received.
