To explain a bit of what is going on, I have a set of gears that I think may be a partial set of metric gears for my heavy 10. They are 26, 28, 32, 36, 40 (standard gear), 44, and 48. There is no 127/100 gear. They came with my Heavy 10.
I'd read about the 47/37 as an alternative in my research so I grabbed one of these off ebay to try because I can't find a reasonably priced 127/100.

I left the 56t on the gearbox alone but swapped it with the spacer. I replaced the 80t idler gear with the 47/37t and I replaced the 40t stud gear with the 48t because it is the largest. It still won't contact. In fact, it is a long ways from touching. The banjo is tilted upwards as far as it will go.
Am I missing something blatantly obvious? How does this work for some people?
Here are what the gears look like:

They fit on the tumbler stud, but are they the correct gears? They look like the gears in this listing but I'm afraid maybe they aren't.

Can anyone shed some insight? Am I stuck buying a 127/100 from overseas?
I did find this for sale on lathes.co.uk but I need to know without a shadow of a doubt that my change gears are the right ones before ordering one:

Thank you to anyone who can add any insight.
