re WXA-1
We should prefer this job to be done at the works.
The following is a summary of what it necessitates:- changing the new camwheel
1 modify front end of camshaft plunger.
2 modify Cam bearing housing.
3 Wheel case modified to suit thrust button
4. The job is not guaranteed unless the other gears are checked for angle & bedding to suit back-lash.
The parts will be ready Today.
We should allow 3 days for the work to be on the safe side.
