Driveshaft trouble

[dbgrubbs]

Saw this thread a few days ago and was skeptical about the lack of a pinchbolt at the front of the driveshaft. Fast forward to today and I'm a believer!! Pulled an engine out of an old gold Milano salvage vehicle that Sam and I have had for years and low and behold, no pinchbolt. They ARE out there.

Those little bearings are available, at least for a TS. Expensive little buggers at 22 UKP each though!

I used a bearing puller to pop the outer race off then cut the inner with a cutting disc in a Dremel. Unfortunately the matching cup in the end of the driveshaft is worn so I plan to swap that for one from an old donut.
