Thank you Chris and Terry for your comments. I had actually missed the cunning method of introducing oil to the shaft. I have an end float of .015” Mr Woodrow suggests a maximum of .010” so I will leave it as it is for the present until I have sussed out the local machinists and put some miles up. I was using a 90 grade gear oil but I suspect oil of that viscosity does not help the synchro to work properly. I have been using 20/50 for the engine as I feel that the SAE 30 engine oil here in tropical North Queensland is too thin for the hot weather here.
Cheers,
Peter.
