Well Done! And....relax! :)

Can I check what bolts you are using on the joint. I had m8 bolts in the old version but now the seem too small. I also cannot get the spanners to fit as the casing is in the way.

p.s well envious yours is on the road!!

Thanks Chris and Kev!

David, I did use M8 bolts, they were a bit of a tight fit, but went in with a some persuasion.
The spanner clearance issue did have me swearing a bit...
I ended up packing the nuts out with a handful of thick washers so I could get a socket on them. Had to grind a bit off the washers to get them to fit too :rolleyes:
Still, it's better than having a UJ that fails IVA!

I got a replacement uj (free) from rally design and it's just the same! Except both ends don't clamp up on this one! WTF!! :mad:

Got my Reg number and tax disc through this morning!
Just about to knock up some temporary plates so I can have a play tonight :D

I think I will be slitting the opposite side and using 2 bolts each end to secure like this. You can slit it with an angry grinder just try and emulate the original slit.



The extra bolt hole doesnt need to be exactly in the spline recess, just gives you extra pinch and the original bolt provides the positive location.

Only just! Have you got your IVA booked yet? :D

Hottest day if the year too! Have you got a Q plate?

I think I'll get the one off eBay, all for making stuff work but not that bit!
