I thought S&S made the gear drives for Andrews? or is it the other way around?
Or am I completely wrong?

Andrews makes the gears. They used to make the cams too but now S&S grinds their own.

There's several places that hob the gears for S&S, at least there were.  :wink:

S&S started grinding there own cams shortly after they purchased Crane, if I recall.

Hmm.
I was thinking of the gears themselves not the cams.
I see some Andrews gears on line for sale and was wondering who actually made them.. the gears that press on the cams.

If they're Andrews gears then Andrews made them. Gear making was their claim to fame. John Andrews is a smart guy.

Rare in today's world but Andrews is a manufacturer. They many make gears, shafts. and other hard metal parts for their line of parts and for many other companies, and they are not all in the motorcycle business.

The manufacturing/grinding of HD cams, is not the primary revenue of Andrews Products.
Gear cutting/hobbing is, and for various forms of power transmission.
