My worm gear is in poor condition, and I'm looking to replace it. A fellow '54 owner has one, but the shaft was sawed off about 6 inches from the worm. Not sure if this will be of any use or not... Another option is Lares, but I have to ship the complete unit to them for rebuild. Does anyone have experience with them? Thanks, Dane
