Prop hitting floor

[Steve P]

Been to Propshaft services today in Feltham,they are making me a bespoke prop with a 2 inch tube,he was worried about torque with the standard size UJ`s so he is going to use larger ones,and i checked with a spare flange he gave me that it will fit,so fingers crossed.

When Dave at Canley sent mine off locally. I remember the UJ connecting to the diff was a "larger", stronger one from a Ford Sierra model.  20 years and still on the car. Has a grease nipple as well. A long one!

Mine has bigger ones as well - mainly because the one at the gearbox end came sized for a Toyota Supra so the other was chosen to match it.  The original TRiumph sizing is marginal for a 2.5 or even a good 2L.

Picked up the new prop today that will hopefully cure the lardy passenger/ floor flexing issue.You can see the witness marks on the old one

2 inch tube with a beefier spline and 100mm joints,really nice piece of work.

I would recommend propshaft services in Feltham,part of Bailey Morris i think.
