Prop UJ

[db484bhpv8]

Glad to find the front UJ on my propshaft is completely shot to a rather worrying degree.

Is it a standard ford part?
Need to get one ordered asap

Unipart - 26.95mm head / 81.75mm across

Or landrover if you fancy one with nipples.

£45 for the "TVR" part or around half that for the Landrover one.. I THINK the Landrover part is RTC3346 but I'd double check if I were you..

[db484bhpv8]

Cheers. Waiting for a call back off the local motor factor

[db484bhpv8]

Only £2.80! here http://www.totalparts.co.uk/search/for/RTC3346/pag...

Is it worth getting the GKN Hardy Spicer?

[db484bhpv8]

Aah that explains it



I dont think it would have survived this weekends drag racing.

Crickey, just in the nick of time. So which one did you opt for in the end.

Grease nipple present so a landy part I guess going from a previous post.

Just what the local factors had in stock.... 'BRT Group' with nipples!

that must have been making some interesting noises and vibes...

Thought mine were bad, just being a tad gritty....

Always intrigued how the prop to diff face manages with just 4 screws holding it together whereas each driveshaft had 6 each end.... Doesn't seem right somehow

[db484bhpv8]

Thats the car back i one piece.

Only problem is its stuck on the axle stands as the old trolley jack chucked its guts.
Ordered a lovely new aluminium one to be delivered tomorrow. Thank god for credit cards

Final drive ratio lowers speed but increases torque


Carpenters use screws, we like to call them bolts

Bolts with a full thread can be referred to as screws

Even referered to as pins when I started on the trains, that confused me after so long working on cars

Ah a set screw, or a "set" is the accepted abreviation

[Pupp]

'kin 'ell

Screw-bolts have nuts don't they? So I'll give you that one for the prop but go swivel for the drive-shafts, they're screwed together!

Looking forward to the 'Street Racer Championship' at York this Sunday.
£1000 prize winner takes all.
Cars must have MoT, tax etc. Some of these still manage to run 8's tho
The problem for these cars is that the race knockouts are continuous so there is very little cool down time.
With a stroke of luck i will get some good draws and the big boys will have problems in later rounds.
