[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 28279, member: 456"] Sorry Marcus but I think this is bad advice. About three years ago I was building a twin racer for a local chap and at one stage we had to take the engine/gearbox unit out of his Prince and use it for tests in the racing chassis. On return from race testing the bike would not wheel back and forth in gear with the clutch held in. Dismantling showed two wrecked gears and the cause was a very short length (6 - 7mm) of the original dynamo holding down stud which some previous ahole of an owner had allowed to fall into the gearbox when he had done a similar repair. I know the tag from a helicoil is smaller than a bit of studding but if it goes through the gears it will be a very expensive job. Dave might not want to hear it but it is better to take off the primary drive and the gearbox end plate and make sure that whatever falls in is recovered. With care and luck he might be able to manage it without taking all the gears out. [/QUOTE]
