Will a 88 tooth spur and 30 tooth pinion fit in a TA05.

Alternatively

Will a 132 tooth spur and 45 tooth pinion fit in a TA05.

Thanks

I don't want to buy the parts and then have them not fit. $$$.
Because the gears are smaller than the 48 pitch gears I'm using, I'm not sure if the motor can be moved over far enough for the smaller gears to mesh.

I'm hoping someone has a TA05 and already has these gears. If you could test it for me would be great.
