My understanding is the same as yours, Silk made or had made a gearbox based on the Velocette gearbox. I believe Moss Engineering cut the gears. Matt Holder had the manufacturing rights to both Scott and Velocette so I can't see him letting George Silk have Velocette parts while in dispute over the Silk Scott name. Many of the Velocette and Silk gearbox parts are very similar when side by side on the bench. Paul may be along with the definitive answer from his research for his book.
