I use Wellseal on every head I fit ,not had one leak yet.Loctite's a pig to remove if you need a strip down.

I''ve not got very far with issue regarding the gear cluster needing replacement or repair.
MB repair is not cost effective and I cant find anyone else local to do the job and I think that if you add their fee and and cost of the sleeve its going to cost more that replacement anyway.
So looking at replacement SR have them at around the 35 pound mark.
What I'm wondering is whether I have to fit the same one or if other options are available? I know changing sprockets and cogs will effect performance it terms of what it should be be able to pull but I'm not sure if its even possible to fit say a LI Gear Cluster to a GP200 Gearbox?
I thought I had a copy of an excel spreadsheet that helped with this, I dont seem to be able to locate it, can anyone share a link?
Lastly there are quite a few GP200 clusters on ebay (£15 - 20), can someone warn me off them before I get tempted!

Send the cluster to me and I'll repair it, got the sleeves in and cheaper than MB.
