I havnt as I don't like the chemical black! So I'm going to have them re done in the zinc and powder coat the the shafts but I will dummy one up later to show how it looks at the moment I will post a pic later let me know what you think?

tosh

I have just ordered some large industrial glue lined heat shrink from ebay and going to use that for the rear shafts, not sure how good it will be but worth a try,

I think it was 55mm 3:1 and will give them a nice black plastic look.

4x4pete

That sounds a good idea you will have to post some pics when you do it

will get the pic of how mine look at the moment up in a bit

tosh

I will do but you will probably have yours finishing by the time I get round to it, I still have to much to do but not enough time to do it,

Trying to fit it in with other things like Work, finishing the Kitchen, Decking the back Garden and a few jobs round me mothers house and before I know it another year will have passed and another summer I will have missed,

I thought there would be more to it than that little notch by the input...When they say mod the casing it sounds like they do some serious work, lol looks like 5 mins with the grinder

any more updates

4x4pete

Thanks fella

Got everything sitting here to build it back up, apart from swirl pot and pipe and fittings as putting new fuel setup in the car,

i sent all the alloy bits to someone else to be vapor cleaned as first guy bead blasted them, when i asked for the parts to be vapor cleaned?. so had to get the difff stripped as he wouldn't do it if i didn't, so then i got all new bearings and seals for it. (good old ebay)

I will have to post some pics of the parts i had vapor cleaned as the bloke who done it is second to none. He does more bike bits then cars bits. but i would send anyone to him

Work looks like it might be a bit Quiet over the next few weeks so hoping to get the car done for ford fair???????

we will see? hope i will post some updates soon

got all drive shafts cleaned today and ready to build back up, and noticed that two of the bearing carriers have got the number 6 stamped on them and two have 8 stamped on them, and all have a machined grove around one side.

Does anyone know can you put them back anyway or is there a right way?
