Onyx Dave Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 Is that why you where on the side of the motorway the other day? Was coming back from racing but was going the other way.

Admin Mk2Jo Posted May 18, 2007 Admin Report Posted May 18, 2007 Looks like something went in rather than out

Admin Vista Posted May 19, 2007 Admin Report Posted May 19, 2007 Looks like something went in rather than out I was thinking that too, it looks like the ragged edges around the hole bend in the way. Rough luck Johnny hope you manage to get it sorted without breaking the bank. You have to tell us though, what were you doing when it happened?
BIG G Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 bang knock scrape puke............ R.I.P REAR AXLE
johnny_h Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Posted May 19, 2007 You have to tell us though, what were you doing when it happened? Sorry to dissapoint but I was just driving home from work, I pulled away from a set of lights in the middle of town and there was a clang and no more drive. I have mentioned before that I had a terrible vibration at a certain speed which was always shaking my starter motor loose. This turned out to be the prop. I took it to get it balanced but it was too late the damage had been done. The diff was already on it's way out.
johnny_h Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Posted May 19, 2007 Twinkle say's he has a spare diff I can try and Rustypup rekons he c an weld up the casing. Bonza!
