I am able to purchase the gear wheel from the South Australia Club but so far I cannot locate a synchro sleeve. Today I removed the synchro cone and the gear with the aim of reversing the gear so as to utilise the opposite gear faces, however the gear has a 42 thou deep shoulder at the front end (see photo) which, if I reverse the gear would upset the relationship between the synchro cone and the synchro sleeve and require the sleeve to engage further in order to obtain full engagement. So it looks like I'm back to square one and will put it all back together and adjust the fork rod to get the best possible engagement until I can get the new or secondhand synchro sleeve. Sigh!
Incidentally Terrytuned was spot on. I went back to the measurements I made of the distance the end of the fork rods protruded from the gearbox casings and the measurement of the 3rd/4th rod indicated that it was about 0.1" too far out compared to the correct adjustment as per Mr Woodrow.
