Sure this helps! Thanks again!
I am surprised about the teeth count because on the internet I have seen counts of 5 and 7 teeth for the helicoil and for the Sunbeam Tiger I have seen a count of 5 teeth. I think you are referring to the other gear the gear that is stuck in the gearbox because this gear has originally 15 teeth for the Tiger MK I.
I understand now from you that normally the plastic driven gear is fastened to the cable and if so how is it fastened to the cable?
Do you have any idea if there are yellow parts in a normal standard Tiger differential?
I must say that you have teached me a lot of things and this forum is very helpful. On the UK-forum I did not get any answers in 2017 and neither this year. So I stick to this forum with my questions. Again my sincerly gratitude for all your help!
I'm happy to help you out!
If you look back at the image of the plastic driven gears I posted earlier, you can see what looks like a round peg on top of each one. Each one is hollow, with a square hole that receives the speedometer cable the tip. Which is how the motion of the gear is transferred to the cable - much the same way at the speedometer end works.
Also on the earlier image, written on the box are the available driven gears - the gear color and number of teeth marked.
