Straight cut primary gears for a Sachs

[john durrill]

Folks ,
 Just recieved an update on the gear sets from Martijn. Will post it below.

hello,
 
I have a very unpleasant message for you.
The primairy will take more time.
A stupid mistake was made.
When I got there the little gearwheel had
the cone of the ignition system as mounting point.
Which means they now have to make new
small gearwheels..
I am very sorry..It is a stupid mistake.
 
So you will have to wait longer ,I asked to hurry
things ,because racing saison son starts.
Some of my Dutch customers also wait for the things.
 
I have some clutchplates in stock.

 It looks like it will be a month or so. I know Martijn is turning the burner up because he has customers waiting on some of the gear sets.
It seems nothing we get re-poped is quick. I know Al B spent a year with a vendor testing the Petcock repair kits befor he got kits that would work right. We ( Al , David Haines , and myself) spent 6 months working with a vendor haveing replacement swing arm bushes made for the 100/125 Sachs engine CMF Pentons. 6 Runs of bushes were made befor we got sets that were up to the orginal standards.  We are still waiting on Euro Rods for Rod kits made up for the 100/125 A and B engine and the 175 piner. I have one of their kits in my bike and it had to have the rod pin turned down .045 in length to fit. We had Falcion do the work and it was not cheap chuckle chuckle! .
 I know this is no help with the time frame we are looking at . Wish we had better news and will keep you guys updated on how its going.

Hi John,
Sorry to hear the news about the gears,[V] but very interested in the rod kit project. I have to tear down the six day I recently aquired and give it a once over, so I have plenty to do. I'm glad to hear about your brace coming off. If it's like the one Bob Wardlow is wearing in the photo section, you probably don't sleep to well![)];)Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

They are very nice.
They costed 250 euro each.
Makes 1250 euro for 5 pieces.
Or maybe you want some extra?

720 USD reached me ,the rest went into
bank transferring costs.
You also need clutch plates ?
Conrods? pistons?

Here is the conversion from Euro to US dolars today

Powered by  
Thursday, April 22, 2004

1,250.00 Euro = 1,479.50 US Dollar
1,250.00 US Dollar (USD) = 1,056.10 Euro (EUR)

Median price = 1.18300 / 1.18360 (bid/ask)
Minimum price = 1.18130 / 1.18180
Maximum price = 1.19150 / 1.19180


 Shipping will be above the 250 euro for each gear set.
Please let me know as soon as you can on when you will send the monies.
I can cover the shipping till we know how much it will be to deliver it to your door. Is that agreable with you folks??
Notice he has clutch plates , rod kits and pistons for any that have a need at this time.

Hi John,
Could you ask Martijn what the cost of a rod kit for the 125b is? I can send you payment via Paypal asap. Thanks for your help.

Robert,
 Here is Martijn's web page. He has rod kits listed for the Sachs engine.
http://www.emot.nl/webstore/catalog/default.php?manufacturers_id=21
 I bet they are for a B motor. A motor kits  are different. the Hammers in Germany should have the A kits
http://www.motorrad-klassiker-ersatzteile.de/html_eng/index.htm
 Both would take Pay Pal last time we bought from them.
Does this help?

John,
  Thanks, that will give me an option. I sent Donny an email inquiring about availability from Larry's stock, and haven't contacted Al yet either, but it's good to know Martijn has some out there also. I haven't pulled the Six Day apart yet, but I did get the flywheel off and the cracks in the engine case are fixable. Just need to get the magneto area sealed up from the elements.
  If I read your earlier message correctly, the conversion to US$ would put the gear sets at $295.90 ea. My notes show I should owe $95.90 plus shipping. I'll send some extra for the bank transfer costs plus the shipping to your Paypal address if that is ok with you. Just say the word.

Robert,
Yes that will be fine. I am waiting for exact prices from Martijn now but they will change slightly every day with the Euro to USD exchange rate. We can figure out what to do about the small changes once the gears are sent. The bank transfer charges he spoke of must be for transfer from Martijn to the MZ enginer in Germany. Will let everyone know as soon as i do. At least we can split the changes 5 ways and that helps each of us.

Robert

Robert,
 send Doug a note on the case repair. He had a welder , local to him , that was doing this at a fair price and Doug was happy with the work. I think he told me that they made up a replacement piece from sheet stock and welded it in. It been almost 2 years since we talked about it though.
