Re: Crown wheel and pinion matching?

well... the mating surfaces of a crown and pinion are prety bloody complex geometry... they are originally ground as a matching set, and as they wear, they become even more matched (for better or worse).
whilst it is possible to use a non-matching set, chances are that the surfaces will initially have a much higher rate fo wear as the high spots wear of... and they may not wear off evenly maybe??
matching sets is a good idea..
as for centres, no problem, as long as the old and new centre are true, then it should be fine.
