I'm not published, so I can't argue with much credit.

Got a plastic gear if you need another...
I am good on the gears...thanks....
I also thought about going with the plastic gears, but am really glad I went with the bronze. Especially after seeing what happen to the plastic ones. And the amount of time I will use the headlights is nil, since it is strickly a pleasure vehicle, as the 82 is my "dd". IMO, I think the bronze gears will be fine, although they are heavier, at least they will never wear out....
