What gearbox you going to use then ?
J i think i still have some 22 spline shafts...
So my alarm goes off at 8am I open my eyes and I felt really positive about what i had got to do today thats until i look out the window and its was pi$$ing it down how annoying!
I pace around for a bit in frustration and prayed it would stop whilst thinking of all the jobs i couldn't do in the rain (welders and rain don't mix
), once i had eaten breakfast the rain had eased off some so out side it was.

out came the welder but it was short live, I had enough time to do a bit of repair work befor i got wet.
The o/s inner wing were the boost pipe used to run needed some attention, but first i had to repair the repair section lol

Cheers mate i will keep that in mind, i'm not sure what i'm going to use yet. The 22 spline stuff might get destroyed by diesel torque thats if the gear box doesn't die first :dQuote:
