About the last thing to be done before the second test drive on Sunday was to instal the tailshaft. I messed around with the front M10 bolts for at least an hour, taking them out, putting them in, without success. I finally came to realise that, while they fitted the Uni yolk and turned OK, when they were started in the coupler thread, they would not go in - the peaks on the bolt heads did not clear the Uni yolk protusions.
I ended up using two M8 bolts to hold it in until I got some machine screws (Bunnings only had course thread).
During this process I had to come up with something the right height to hold the other end of the tailshaft roughly in position.
This did nicely -(product placement alert).
Yes, we drove on Sunday - more to come...
