Sowwee for taking so long to reply, whenever I'd come to answer this I'd get sidetracked or not be able to think of how to answer. I've decided it'd probably be fine as long as it's heavily modified.

Also, does that mean just the set being modified or the actual function of the gears? Y'know what, scratch that - I'll just get pics later and you can decide if it's worthy or not.
