[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 441425, member: 183150"] I think it would be better to get pinions made from 'nylon' or 'delryn' or similar. I think the origionals are actually 'Delryn' :) The nylon pinion acts as a safety device at the moment, if you make metal pinions this increases the chances of damaging the internals of the motor, or breaking off the diecast teeth on the quadrant, a worse result. Would also probably be noisier. The nylon pinions are good enough for the job, unless overdriven. [/QUOTE]
