Spot on Simon - the thread on the rose joint gave out completely :(
How do I get in touch with Nick? It's been such a long time since I last saw him............. (Tong 2002/3 possibly :oops: )
I was planning on getting the existing rose-joint, cleaning off the remaining threads, cleaning out the rotten remaining threads in the "A" bar, making the rose-joint longer and welding it up from both ends of the "A" bar (if you can follow me?)
What do you think - this is what had been done on another truck I looked at.
Oh, and turning the bracket on the diff round to face the other way too, to get the correct angle on the prop...........
what do you think? :)
