T5 Input bearing retainer

[tom_loughlin]

After a manic weekend rebuilding my gearbox, I have just finaly sealed it and tested all the gears work, a little behind schedule, as I am relying on the Chim as my only transport. Everything is hunky dory and I put the box in position under the transmission tunnel, lift it up only to find it won't go into the clutch sleeve.
After removing it again, I discover the input bearing retainer has a hairline crack down it's length, and as a result, won't fit into the clutch sleeve.
So I know it is a very long shot, but I am in desperate need of a new one, does anyone have an old t5 box that I could buy - can be completely knackered as all i need is the retainer - or does anyone know where I can get one fairly sharpish.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as I'm desperate!

Below is what I am looking for (its a pic i found on the net, not of my exact one, but you get the picture)



Thanks chaps

Thanks for your help gents, in the end it was a bit of a wild goose chase, but got it from a place called P&W Engineering in Herts - the service was amazing, called them Monday lunchtime, and had the part Tues 9am!
Top stuff - was up until midnight last night, but at last it's back on the road!

Thanks again

Tom
