C2919 Morris Mini Contrate Gear

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently bought a second hand C2919 Morris Mini which looks great after a clean up.  However, on running it was making a terrible clicking sound.  I opened the car up and it appears that the contrate gear has split.

 

This looks to be a 20t gear but I was not sure what type of replace it with.  I have taken apart the axle and removed the gear OK so I should just be able to slide on a new one.

 

Could anyone suggest the best replacement match to this gear?

Hi Peter E - welcome to the forum!

 

To help with finding spares, there are service sheets for some cars on this website. The one for your Mini is here: https://www.scalextric.com/uk-en/catalogsearch/result/?q=C2919#product_tabs_servicesheets_contents  The direct replacement for the rear axle assembly is W9861. I don't see any available online. All the other axles on that sheet will fit your car, but the wheels might not be the correct style. Maybe you could search for those?

 

I am pretty sure the gear is smaller than the standard Scalextric inline gear, so you won't be able to replace the split gear with a new Scalextric one.

 

I hope that helps.
