NG-53
Worm Replacement

The manual VENGR iron worm gear has had a tendency to strip off half of it's teeth, builders would then rotate the worm 180 deg and hope it did not do it again. This part has not been available for a long time because the original manufacturer now only offers the gear in a lightened webbed out version with a thin hub and spokes. The only solution has been to fill the gear hub with flox, machine it flat and drill mounting holes in it. This was more of a fix than a solution.

It was determined that a bronze version of this gear was available which would be less brittle and less prone to shearing off the teeth. The hubs were machined out and an aluminum hub was machined. The sizing is such that there is a large interference fit and the heated ring gear is shrunk onto the frozen hubs creating a strong assembly.

Baggage Pod
mounting inserts

If you are going to install Gary Hunter's baggage pods, you will need to install threaded inserts per the instructions. These 3/8" dia x 1" long AN-3 inserts are not limited to mounting pods though, anywhere you have need for an AN-3 internal thread hardpoint these can be used as-is, shortened or partially buried in foam as a threaded standoff.
