I need to build a 2:1 gear box and am having a hard time sourcing stock gears. Lohring gave me a water brake that is rated at 9,000 rpm that I want to use for some steady state testing, and I just enjoy building stuff. I will use it to test Gas engines so if i can gear it 2:1 I think it will be good. Anyone have a source for gears before I tool up to make them?
 
Definitely where Mike Z suggested. They have 10,000's of stuff. Email or call them for suggestions to meet your uses & then ask for samples they're free.
I use mod 1 model car gears. Most are hardened. Not so easy to machine for engine cone but slowly and a sharp tool it can be done.

I have a large supply of RC car gears that I was going to use on an opposed piston engine. They are hardened and will need custom hubs. Call me.
