Van Dusen All British show
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2017 11:12 am
I entered the show this year with the Anglia. Anyone else going?
I used to go many years ago with the Morgan, but my shift changed at work...had to work Saturdays.
I'm hoping I will have my d/line vibration issue sorted by this weekend.
I pulled the gearbox and replaced the slip yoke bushing, but have discovered that my d/shaft is too short!
I understand from Peter S. that the center to center measurement should be 41". Mine is 40"
When I push the yoke all the way into the tailshaft and pull it back approx 1" I still have at least 1 1/4 in to pull back before I can bolt the shaft/diff flange.
This is pulling the yoke out so there is not much, if any real support in the bushing/splines.
I'm having another shaft made with a 1"+ longer tube, and hope to get that back today.
I measured the original shaft that was in the car when I acquired it and it was 40 1/4 -" The second one that Pat's built was 40".
Fingers crossed!!!!!! This might explain why the shaft I borrowed from Langlia was smooth...no vibration. It never occured to me to measure it!
If this doesn't work......anyone got any dynamite?
Cheers,
Dave.
