I am not going to claim to be any kind of expert regarding the rules of using unmodified COTS parts bought in past years because my team is not doing this. If my team was considering it, I would make myself an expert.
If you are thinking of going down this path then VERY CAREFULLY review all of the rules and Q & A responses related to this subject.
I still think that your best bet is to use the plastic FP gearbox.
Best of luck
