Vetus m3.10 gearbox repair kit

Hi All!

I need to repair Vetus m3.10 gearbox on my Rustler 31. As I have found from Vetus, my m3.10 gearbox is no longer produced. Vetus proposed a gearbox from newer engine model, but to install it I need to align gearbox by shifting motor up 7mm and back 12mm. Not an easy and safe thing to do on an old boat and most probably will also require to shift propeller shaft as well.

So I am trying to find a Vetus m3.10 gearbox repair kit that will allow me to replace transmission gears in the m3.10 gearbox.
Does such repair kit exist? Where to buy it?
Thanks!

Don't waste money on rebuilding an old ZF/Hurth gear. Replace with a new Twin Disc mechanical unit.

Twindisc bought into an Italian company called Technodrive (TMC) so do a search with those names instead of Twindisc
