Ok so my son in law has taken a fancy to this Rover so now I have to come up with a fix for this friction drive. I'm leaning more to bonding some material to the plate as opposed to the idea Mac came up with the timing gear. Reason I am reluctant to go this way is because I have to remove the rear wheels to get the shaft out to fit the new gear. This looks like an ugly job and if I can get something bonded to the disc I can leave the back end alone. I just have to find something that might work on it but now it is Christmas all these sort of brake and clutch places are closed. Anybody have any thoughts?
