While on the subject - is it worth the extra for a TRT? About £250 I think.

Is that £150 inc. prop, or £159 to convert existing prop?
I'm contemplating the TRT at the moment - I have the sierra unit in my garage as modded by MK, but I have nightmares about it not being properly
balanced and coming apart at speed and impaling my left leg.
I like my left leg.

It's been welded and sorted by MK, so it should probably be ok. However, of all the things to get shoved through the old block and tackle at
100mph, I can't help thinking that a piece of propshaft would bring a tear to the eyes.

I know they're custom made, but why are the prices so widely varied? Do you have to ring them on a good day?

Approx £150 to convert your existing propshaft to TRT including balancing.

Assuming that the MK welding is adequate and strong (no reason to suspect otherwise), that's a £100 saving.
Supopse it's too much to expect it to come back all clean and pwder coated as well?

You need a 2pc shaft for the MC kit cars.
Price for torque resilient tube 2pc shaft will be £195.00 + carriage £13.00 + vat.
Price for a non-torque tube 2pc shaft will be £155.00 + carriage & vat.
All we need are your measurements from the G/Box fl to the centre of the c/brg mount and from the c/brg mount to the diff flange face.
All parts available ex-stock to build a shaft.

Torque resilient tube.
Takes some of the shock out of the driveline during gearchanges like the cush drive in a bike rear wheel.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Whilst you're on Steve, unless they've been replaced already ask them to change the UJ bearings. It's not a difficult job, but at
least it'll be done and I doubt they'll charge much to do them!
Oh yes, another thumbs-up for D&B, though I'm sure Bailey Morris are very good - it just happens to be that Leeds isn't far from me!

I was contemplating taking it all apart myself and replacing everything, but I just want to get the car finished, and few extra quid here and there
fopr someone else todo the job for me makes life easier (and safer!).
Not sure how I'm going to use the safer argument with the missus about Wilwood calipers over recon'd sierra ones, but I'll think of
something!

She never believes me.
Not when I buy new stuff that's critical.
Not when the perfume smell from my night out was the air freshener in the toilets that caught me.
Never

You need to stop being humble about it...
If my misses accused me of being with a woman over the smell of a bathroom airfreshener, she would get a mouthfull of indignant response, not
"but honey is was the bathroom airfreshener, honest"
Moneywise, she needs to be told that whilst it is "our" money, you have a right to buy things for yourself from money you earn...
Get some backbone lad, if she is assertive, you need to be more so... you are the man not her..
If on the other hand it means your family will go short of something then thats different..
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
