    Solving the problem using larger and stronger teeth could cause your problem to reappear as a more expensive problem elsewhere

    But you already know that - of course

    Yes, that did occur to me :(

    I've checked with the very helpful guys at Hewland in the UK, the D type gears are now standard for DGB boxes. I'm upgrading the needle bearings they run on but they say nothing else needed.

    Apparently the dog ring teeth will strip before a shaft fails.

    Isn't it odd that back in the day when race cars had to wrestled around the track they were mostly driven by skinny little guys like Vaccarella, yet today when everything is computer aided, the drivers spend a bunch of time in the gym with trainers?

    No, I spun on the exit of T15 in first practice and picked up 5kg of rubber and stones. Took several laps to clean it off.

    Yes, this should solve my stripping problems.

    Of course, they're 7 thou thicker than the previous gears, so I have to machine the layshaft spacer, nothing is ever easy... :(
