I see it's gone by the outer circlip groove, mine always used to go there too. GKN made me an uprated set (via Tower View) that are stronger and also don't have this stress raising circlip groove. If you find you're breaking the transmission regularly you might want to try something similar.

Some cerbs and possibly griffs too,came with GKN ones,so you might find some at breakers etc?I was also told that you need the ones with GKN on them if your putting more power,not the unbranded/unmarked type. Did you get on the RR before this happened Del?If so what did you get?

Hi mike, yep, 1st on Sunday morning, very low numbers & skipping 260 & 290 something (they weren’t happy with the readings compared to previous) I was just going out for a short drive to warm up again for another run frown

If it is that low I’ve lost a lot of horses/lbft since last time & since doing 2/3rds of the Cerbs last weekend wink

Sorry to hear about the problems Del and hope you got home safe. We asked Pete if he was going to drive past and blast his horn at you - obviously he said yes!
271 I heard - Andrea got 279.x before we put the injection upgrade on but it needed more fuel and nobody had a guage so we could up the regulator. The rolling road guy reckons it would go to 300 ish with more fuelling. Even the lowly BV got 256 but was running really rich - again he reckoned 270 if we lean it up a bit. Not bad for a standard engine (silicon induction hoses and K&N filter are the only upgrades I'm aware of).
