The HD "round tooth" design was used from 83 onwards.
So 77 to 82 were square tooth.
The 16v HD were different to the 32v gears.

Same HTD (high torque drive) tooth profile, but the 16V gears are non-adjustable.
To use the 32V gears on a 16V, you have to machine a 32V hub (to a height of 9.0mm)...then figure out a way to time them.

Roger, this is fantastic, thank you!
My 16 Valve car has original 32 V gears, probably due for replacement, using Ken's modification (below).
Works great. (Thanks to Ken and former owner Jadz)

Thanks Rog and Sean, these will help people for years to come!
BTW, is there anything to the theory that running Ken's tensioner reduces wear on these gears?

In theory yes, because it will always keep a constant tension on the belt, no loose flapping belt, no over tightened belt, so it should cut down on the wear.

Roger, did you get my email (Michael)? I'm down for a set plus a Gates belt. I'll call you sometime after the Christmas holiday for a parts list. I hope to get my WP/TB done next month.
I'm already pushing 20 years and 57k miles on them!
