But it's not the diameter of the gear (wheel) that's important, it's where
the pivot that the cable engages is installed into the gear.  There are
several different gears that fit the motor found on the TR3, all the same
diameter (or they wouldn't fit) but most of them have a wider sweep than the
TR3 windshield can accommodate.
