What gear do I need to mesh with Mini Plastic Rack - Part No: 4600-023. The spec for that part says that it has 6.5mm teeth spacing - but none of the gears seem to offer exactly this spacing? Am I missing something....?

Alan,

The spec states 6.5mm tooth width which is not the pitch. Under the product description, there are links to related products which are the compatible gears.

Dear Sir/Madam

I purchased the following item from yourselves a few months ago (Part No: 4600-020) which is almost exactly what I require.

Unfortunately I require a much longer length than the current 70mm I purchased. Is it at all possible to purchase a longer length from yourselves, ideally 800mm (although any length considerably longer than 70mm would be very useful)

Regards

David

David,

You can butt the smaller racks together or as an alternative use our 4600-024 which are interlocking racks.
