Hey, very informative page!
I see now I didn't brake 12tooth gears, but 14tooth bevel gears. (4143)
These look even flimsier than the current 12 tooth bevel gears...
About the 24t gears, I'm currently using them like this:
http://home.hccnet.nl/gillis.hommen/double_gears.PNG
Of the 2 24t gears next to the center-diff only one meshes with the
differential, but they're connected with friction pins to share the load. In
reality those are actually 2 broken gears working together as one strong and
properly working gear. :)
On the same axle as these two 24t gears is one 24t crown gear that meshes
with the gearbox' clutchgears. It's not possible to use 2 'normal' 24t crown
gears connected by friction pins, as the second one would touch the
gearbox's clutch. The 24t crown gear looks like it has a stronger axle
support so I'm trying that out instead of a regular gear. Before the gearbox
are just 2 pairs of 8&24 tooth gears, sharing the load. Those are not
connected by friction pins because there's no reason to, they both mesh with
another gear.

| Another dig up then. ;) I mailed lego about the 5 'old style' broken z24 gears, and asked them if they would send me 5 new ones. (preferably at no cost) Their reaction: because these gears are not available in any service pack, we will send them to (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
