      I just got a BRM Anglewinder Conversion kit for my inline 962.

      Any advice from Ary et al all?   I am confident I know what to change, but just wondering if anyone else has done this and has any “lessons learned” from surprises they encountered.

      (oh and …. where can we get replacement spur gears?  does anyone know the pitch? Can Parma or other brands be used?  ….just thinking head to the point where I have to replace a spur)

      Mark,

      BRM has only produced 3 gear sizes for angle-winders (38, 41 and 42); you can find them at 132slotcar.us. I do not recommend using non-BRM gears – the motor position cannot be adjusted in the chassis and it requires variable pitch gears.

      Regarding the angle-winder conversion: I have not bought a kit but these articles cover the conversion:

At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
