Canley Classics http://www.kipping.co.uk/ can supply thicker circlips to order - it's always worth having a few in hand before starting a driveshaft UJ replacement. Remember that driveshaft joints should always feel tight, whereas the propshaft joints need to be very free moving, Cheers, Bill. -- Rarebits4classics .......just what you've been looking for PO Box 1232 Calne Wiltshire SN11 8WA United Kingdom http://www.rarebits4classics.co.uk /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
