Hi Randall. Someone else made a posting about this. I tried using the other
set of holes with my new aftermarket gear and it didn't change anything.
Didn't know about turning the gear upside down. I guess I'll just live with
being within a few degrees.
My aftermarket gear may not be cut correctly, but it sure looks nice.
