We never measured, but enough that I and the two more-knowledgeable fellows
with me noticed as soon as we saw it.

I have a saved article by you about doing this, and will do the same if
the all-Rootes route is blocked. I really would like to keep the Tomato
all-vintage, just short of the point of lunacy.
To answer another reply while I'm here, I don't know exactly all that's
wrong, but I'm getting a list from the fellow that took it apart for me.
Unfortunately I'm not yet savvy enough to understand all the bits and
recount them here. The OD Annulus has some mashed teeth, as does another
gear (that I can't recall well). The planetary gear seems fine, or at
least not remarkable.
I have some homework to do.
