Just looked into the box through the spring retainer - no metal gears. Looks like they stripped some of the threads on the box and have fitted oversized self tappers plus one was too long so they just bent the tip out of the way.
The fitting wasnât installed correctly and had rubbed on a spring and broken

I have a spare J11 box that I modified to fit SHS gears, then never used as my J12 box never died if you want it.
Worth noting the J12 is a stronger box, has a bit more meat around the gears. Same in shape but the J12 has a thicker area around the bevel gear which is very very good.
