Hey Ian, If you find a
And I wonder if the later parts will fit an earlier series case. ('31/series III)? Man, what I wouldn't give to have a transmission that doesn't howl like banshee and make children cry.
Then all I'd have to complain about would be figuring out how to insert and retrofit the innards of a postwar muffler into the casing of the stock R11/16...
Barry, I can't be 100%
Finding one of these later boxes and swapping internals may be the best way to stop frightening the kids, they rebuild exactly the same way as the earlier version. While the main shaft and second gears are available for the early ones I don't know of any parts for the later ones apart from a few bushes from Torsten Tausch, can't understand why, they produced more S5's than other series. Like Darryl suggests try them.
Your comments on the mufflers made me smile, before my father died he was making some for the R11. This was in the 70's, in the Uk, and at a time when his R11 was the only known R11 in our little universe, and anything needed would have to be made. I remember them well, all stainless, inside the main outer tube they had a small chamber to the front feeding six smaller tubes held in place with a baffle front and back. All the tubes were different length and with a hole facing sideways close to the end of the blocked off tubes. I can't say for certain where this design idea came from but his other hobby was making bagpipes! Unfortunately for me they didn't look authentic and I never tried them, I know I really should have, it may have played "Flower of Scotland" note perfect

Hello, Did you ever end up
Did you ever end up making your 1st gear?
Both of my R11's could use one.
Also need a kickstart flange, mine has a 1/16 in of slop.
Take care,
Lee Deyoung
I did. Here's a picture of it
I ended up reusing my original kickstarter flange, so if you want to buy the printed one off me, you're welcome. It will have to be machined to finish sizes but the material is there at least.
Also, I'd be happy to get you a gear or two but would wait until you have just about everything else figured out. They are quite expensive and if I recall you had some serious welding to figure out. Any progress on that?

Making new kickstarter gear
Nice looking gear, good job.
My transmission case is on temp hold while I make a new kickstart gear.
Picture of old gear, lathe with indexing fixture, and new gear in chuck being broached.
I am interested in the kickstart flange, and 1st gear.

Take care,
