early crush sleeves

[nutcase]

I got an interesting part with my latest eEuroparts order - an adapter to use late (and available) crush sleeves on early c900 and all 99 gearboxes:



It fits onto late sleeves to match internal dimension and width. External dimension is about 1.5mm larger than the early sleeve but it should clear ok.





Having just had a baby I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to use it in anger for a little while.

They have about 10 stock (or sent out to various people to prototype) and 10 more at the machinists ready to go. I have installed one, but haven't put it in a car yet. They are available on the website now.

Assuming it works ok (and if you've fitted on it sounds like it should) I'll be ordering a few more next time. Just got to hope the later crush sleeve stays available for a long while!

I'll take full credit for those existing

I made those spacers for the last few early gearboxes I rebuilt and I mentioned it to Jordan, who mentioned it to Eeuroparts and then they did a batch of them. I'm sure my royalty check is in the mail

Luke, What grade steel did you use? did you use anything special?

Just 1018 cold rolled steel, it doesn't have to be anything fancy, I mean the thing butts up against something is designed to squish! For my competition gearboxes I always use a solid sleeve and lap to get final bearing preload.

So those will work on 4-speeds too?

The eEuro page says 'hardened tool steel....'

I love mystery materials!

I'll see if I can find out what it is made from. It should work on 99's. For a solid sleeve 1.5" x .095 roll cage tubing works great. I just am finalizing one for an 89+ box. Still need to turn it down some more... but the lathe and press are in two different locations!

Material is NAK55.

Well done you then

Ruddy hope it works on a 4 speed
