Re: Driveshaft spline wear
I tend to agree Lawrie,
after that spring tour that we called in to see you, I pulled the diff out of my 38 because of a noise and found that the ch....se made 6 spline coupling had worn and the filings had migrated into the ring and pinion. Another $1400 for parts ( ring, pinion, bearings, seals etc.) The thought of that strong epoxy granular wearing away and dropping into the diff worries me.
I’m heading off to see if I can get one end of a coupling welded to the solid driveshaft .Afterall the early 30s cars only had one end pinned.
