Does the shaft have the exit hole in the side for the horn wire? For the CJ-2a that use the brush and brass ring instead of the horn wire tube?

Yes, that is correct. It will.

I purchased this Gear Box tube and worm gear for my early CJ2A. Mine also has the horn ring that mounts on this shaft. I purchased the brass horn ring from you also. The shaft is too large in diameter for the brass and plastic to fit?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
The rubber lined brass horn contact (A302 &A302B) are used together. The bushing must slide down the shaft. It is a very tight fit. We usually take a bit off the rubber and grease to get it to slide down.

Does Kaiser sell a replacement for the "lower cover and horn wire tube"? If not, would welding on a new tube be the easiest solution? My tube is about 1 inch long and looks like it was sheared/cut off in the case, while your video shows it to be 18-24 inches long.

Where can I get the retaining clips for the worm bearings that you show in the video? All the standard e-clips I have found seem to large OD to fit in the housing and upper cover clearance holes, and retaining rings are too small to hold well.
Willys Tech:
They really are not necessary. When loading the ball bearing just use heavy duty axle grease to keep them in place. Then once the worm gear is inserted it will hold them in position.
