I have a damaged 5th gear cog (one of the three dogs snapped off) and need to replace it with a std 22 teeth gear-cog (not the available overdrive cogs). I obtained a gear-cog which I was told was off a 1975 XS, however it is slightly different to my gear. My damaged gear cog has chamferred central splines with a circular groove around outside of splines (looks like the gear shaft shim fits against this). The cog I was sent has no chamfers on splines; it also has no makings on teeth to indicate a post 78 cog, nor a circular groove.
If posted some pictures of each cog could anyone offer to identify which model of XS they are off and whether I could use them on my XS-B. I know different part nos are compatible with different models BUT my cog has no part number on it.
I have had the XS for 35 yrs and I am giving it its first ever restoration...I can't let a simple gear problem stop me now.
Any advice would be well appreciated.
