As John says about making use if the taper on a hand reamer but for something like that you could simply drill through with as close a fitting drill and Loctite the pins into one half

Today you now can't get a freezer since some moron said you can freeze milk. I wonder (hope) if the plastic bottles will split.

Update - I really have to apologise because I am totally unable to select and upload images for some reason. Perhaps Steve will put up my latest images which show the rearside of the removed gearbox. I have tried to select images on 2 PCs and also this, my smartphone, so seems to be an account problem.

I have been thinking about the various helpful comments that I have received so far and on reflection agree that I have been over enthusiastically changing direction before the machine has stopped. This would explain the damage to the mangled gears.

The original ( and continuing) problem of a stiff ABC selector appears to be down to the triple gear assembly not being free to slide along the shaft. By the look of things could well be debris below the shaft key which is restricting travel. Should become clearer when disassembled.

Is there a Circlip missing from the groove?

A subjective answer - Yes (and probably cheaper - certainly for me. Lidl is 15 miles away Waitrose is 43miles)
I suspect gherkin recipes would bore folk here. PM for my best two if you want..

Plus one for Andrew Tinsley's comment.

I usually work in Imperial because I model old engines that were made in Imperial measurements but if I were to model a continental engine then I would use metric measurements. What's the problem?

Wouldn't it be awesome if we went back to imperial. Stuff the rest of the world. Rule BRITANNIA. Britannia rules the waves.

There is nothing wrong with using a Temporary link belt if you are not wanting to strip the machine. If at all possible then use a proper belt. Just ask the question. Would you consider taking a drive belt off a car & fitting a temporary link belt. I think it was Fenner who 1st invented them for emergency use. Mainly in factories that ran line shafts, which powered multiple machines from the one shaft. I have recently finished my work on the Myford & while doing it fitted the original spec ones that I bought from Myford's in Halifax. The machine runs near on silently. The Heastock shaft is not hard to remove from the Super 7.

The flang will only be small 1/4" or a little less I know I have not given exact sizes I will also be attempting to silver solder or if not possible soft solder again no strength is needed or have any pressure involved.

I have in the past made things by building as I go but I still need to know how materials react to different procedures.

Started going regularly when it was at Seymour Hall - what a 'child in a toyshop' experience that was!. Finally gave up when it moved to Epsom. The enjoyment/satisfaction (and expenditure !) graph was on a constant downward slope. A great shame 'cos it was my annual 'treat'.

Mk1 was superceded by mk2 in 1948, bit earlier than 1960's

If Smart and Brown were a UK company it is unlikely they would have used Unified screws. As at least one screw is BA, is it not likely that what looks like 3/16 BSF is actually 2BA. The difference in pitch and dia is very small, but the thread angle is different.
