How well do you know your gearbox fragments?

Hi Gearbox Gurus,

Before Warwick last year I posted a picture of my excuse for not coming.

I asked the gurus what the fragments were from.

Now that the gearbox is apart the answer is..... they're from a collapsed bearing. A cone-shaped one apparently. The rest of the box is fine (Thankfully).

It's going back together with a ZF (Thanks Greg Ward) and a 3.88 ring and pinion (Thanks Henry Spicak and Dave Butler (for the fair price)).

I can't to drive the thing again.
