  1. sorry to be pessimistic but I don't think those gears will dress, the pressure face has totally overheated and gone through the hardening,

    we dress many gears with die grinders due to burrs from manufacture and small dents from bad handling when soft but the gear in the photo is too far gone I think, it will howl and will get worse as the surface hardening has gone,

  2. or the wrong pitch ? look at the top left 8 thread 'peaks', the deformed step on the right flank get progressively bigger as you move to the right, maxing out at peak 8, ie the depth it was screwed into,

    if you can wait, don't buy anything yet, you might be able to salvage the parts you need from the one I have,

  3. A fine pitched M22 on the pinion is likely to be a KAM one, I was just concerned it was one of ours and you were using the spacer which wouldn’t be required,

    I don’t know if the KAM ones used spacers but if it’s built up OK and both side adjuster nuts are sitting OK then that’s fine.

    Salisbury ATB’s are late Jan / early Feb

    This is on a 2015 Puma 2.2 110, but I don't think it matters.

    Can you fit alloys (standard LR type such as the Tornado/Freestyle or the later Boost) onto a vehicle which has Ashcroft HD drive flanges and shafts fitted, this sort:

    https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/drive-flanges/859.html

    They look thicker and I'm not sure if alloys will go over them or not, as I know there are fitting issues on older vehicles with the original thick type LR drive flanges.

    I think all wheels fit OK

    Why don't Ashcroft or Syncro use thermostats in their coolers? Can you overcool the box? I have had thermostats fail on the coolant side of a BMW box - that used a small coolant:Oil cooler so is stat failure on the oil side a problem for the land rover ones?
     

    The Syncro one looks identical to the Ashcroft one but is more expensive.

    cost / more complex to make

    Can you overcool the box?

    I dont think so

    The Syncro one looks identical to the Ashcroft one but is more expensive. 

    we were making them first,

    if you want one with thermostat we have used genuine @ £ 60 + V ea
