2821E Gearbox Question

[velo5338]

Picked up a 2821E gearbox on Craigslist for $30 - the Cortina/Seven type with the external remote. When I stripped it I found that the main input bearing had failed and one of the 3rd/4th gear baulk rings and a blocker bar were damaged.

The layshaft - which looked brand new - shows some light blueing in the area of the needle rollers, surface is perfect, no scoring or damage. The rollers had some light blueing too. Question for the group - would you re-use or could this have compromised the heat treatment of the layshaft and rollers?

So I'm searching for some replacement parts - any clues where they might be found?

BearingKits.co.uk,

Just ordered new layshafts rollers for my box from them - the existing were badly pitted for some reason. ?14.99 for both ends + P&P

They can do everything for English diff and 2000E box except pinion shafts nuts! - for that you will need Burtons and have to part with ?13 + p&p for one nut!!!
