Here you can see the crack on one of the gear teeth. Its good that jose checked all of these teeth properly, otherwise there would have been a huge problem once the tooth broke off and possible caused damage

Jose needed some spares so i put him in touch with a man who has any Mecatecno spares at his home. You can see the small box of spares beneath . it contains the cracked gear cog , brass gear selector forks (which can wear on Mecateco's) and a rotary disc valve.He also managed to get both a magnesium clutch and magneto side casing to help finishing the project.

Hi James, I have sent to Mr Joan Ruiz to ask some spare parts.
The engine in very good condition but needs some things.
If the Mr Joan has everything i need will be best for me.
I can make some things but i prefer if they are already made.
Tomorrow cleaning engine parts the i will clean and tidy and i'll send you more photos.
When you are finished with the engine i'll start the cosmetic restoration of the motorcycle


Hello James. Tomorrow I'll send photo of the new  parts.
Some are not new.
Your contact has been good guy, and is  cheap. Is a nice person!
Now I am tired, morning sending you new photos
