Hi All.

I found this diagram on the internet. I'm NOT 100% sure but I think the reversing gear below is for a stuart 10v.

OK, the pivot pin 5 passes through a hole in the bracket 4.

On one end of the pin is attached the lever 2 and the other end the linkage 1.

By releasing the knurled lock nut 11 you can raise or lower the lever to move sideways "the "part with slot in" 1, to select either forward or reverse rotation of the engine.

As I see it for this mechanism to work 1 and 2 must be rigidly fixed to the pivot pin while the pin is free to pivot in the bracket hole 4?

Assuming I'm correct how are 1 and 2 secured on the pivot pin?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply.

I was mistaken, as you say, it's 2 and 3 which are rigid and form the bell crank.

With such small parts, I believe the pivot pin is 3/16" diameter, is there a taper pin and taper reamer small enough to pin the parts together? If not I imagine you would use small carpenters moulding pins?
