Dear Richard<br>
<br>
I had the same thought - then remembered school days.<br>
<br>
The cable will be 15mm in dia (15 x pie (3.142) = 50mm (square).<br>
<br>
If I have this wrong, I'm sure somone will advise!!<br>

Dear All<br>
<br>
Just to let you know, the UJ (gearbox end) was completely shot. It had sooo much movement that it had almost completely rubbed away one of the nyloc-nuts!!!<br>
<br>
Put the shaft on from the Yellow-scrappy and works great! Feels like a new car. My car used to "shake" at anything ...

Dear All<br>
<br>
I think this is a good idea, may even try it out. I have found this link for cable (what do you think?) - gain a bit more room in the engine bay.<br>

was it to get the Propshft off?<br>
<br>
I am embarking on this, this weekend?<br>
<br>
Any tips? I've had a quick look and the nuts look rusted tight! I've started spraying WD40 in the hope it might help by Saturday!!<br>

Could you supply Ian's email addy.<br>
<br>
I joined in Sept/Oct and just want to know if I am due to renew now or later.<br>

As some of you know I have an old "Rusty" Dolly for spares. Can the Propshafts be taken off one and put on another?<br>
<br>
I read in the Haynes manual that they are balanced and one should make a note of the location on the propshaft and flange. This being so, would it be OK to transfer the ...

Dear Folks<br>
<br>
Just got back from visiting a great show and auto-jumble in Andover - only ONE Sprint there!!!<br>
<br>
Anyway, whilst driving there and considerably worse now I get a noise when pulling away from 0 - 10 Mph. It sounds like I have a square wheel!<br>
<br>
It appears to originate ...

Thanks<br>
<br>
I cooler running car has got to be better so an 8 -12 degree reduction during summertime has got to be a good insurance.<br>
<br>
I would imagine it is best to run without antifreeze as antifreeze does not cool as well as H2O!!<br>
<br>
I think I will try some of this - I would not ...

Dear Folks<br>
<br>
In the never ending conquest for performance and cooling, I wonder if anyone has tried this?<br>

Hope to see you guys sometime in the Spring/Summer.<br>

Thank you so much for the advice.<br>
<br>
The BLUE is some miles away in a friends garage. I will make a visit to take off the hoses that have been cut.<br>
<br>
I accept your suggestions to get the engine running in situ and that if it works and sounds good THEN (and only then) do a transplant.<br ...

Dear Jon<br>
<br>
The old Yellow (DLB) with the DCOE and Stage II has all the hoses cut (including the oil cooler hoses). The ignition wires have been damaged - to get it to work in situ will take a little time and cost. <br>
<br>
I note your comments about the head and the associated risks. I have ...
