Wanted: Transmission Part

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Gary

When you do get them....can you tell us if they are the aluminium or cast steel ones... The white metal ones were obviously more vulnerable to breaking.... also whether the speedo cable boss is machined or left blank.....?

Not sure which of the cast ones are the ones mention in David's email as a modification made during the war after poor results of the early civvy models used.

Make sure you use locking nuts and locktite on all the flange and U joint bolts.....like a belt with suspenders.

Last Summer I found some loose spring U bolt nuts and U joint bolts on the short drive shaft.

Current plans are to do an oil change/grease and leisurely roll under with the creeper to check every bolt nut I can see before driving it in the back field.


Cheers
