hilux blazing blazer pinion gear

[3speeder]

I need a pinion gear for the hilux I'm building, I know they are hard to get and they only came with the hilux and BB. There seems to be a lot of post on the subject but not answers as to what will really work. Has anyone actually used one of these pinions below in there hilux/BB?

I understand that the screw needs to be ground down or space the motor back so the screw doesn't rub the spur gear, this is a runner with some modifications so original doesn't matter.

Thanks

I am running the Novak 11t pinion in a Blazer with no issues, gearbox is nice and smooth with no excess wear to the spur.

I have spacers fitted on each screw behind the motor which move it out from the transmission by around 2mm which is just enough to keep the grub screw from catching. I used this method in preference to grinding down the screw / edge of spur gear in case I got a proper pinion in future and to make changing the motor easier.

Was in exactly the same situation about 6 months ago with my Blazer even though it was sold as RTR!
