Hi all, Finally managed to find time to take a closer look at the nut. It does not seem to be the 'nylock' type, but it is covered by the metal anti tamper cover, with no split pin. So next question is how, easily, do I test for the pre load without specialists tools. Many thanks Mark

Hi all, I am currently, and slowly, rebuilding my 1500 spitfire. I have cleaned out the differential but forgot to take down, accurately, the number of turns the castellated nut came off....LOL...upon tightening, I think i may have over tightened it....... I have a replacement collapsible washer to hand. Questions. To what torque measurement should I tighten the castellated nut? Upon loosening, how can I buy, borrow, make a tool for measuring the pre-load? Can these measurements be taken with the inner axles in place? All help and advice would be most appreciated, once the head shaking and rolling of eyes has subsided. On a separate issue, how can I access the universal joint on the pro shaft? One end is encased and I am not too sure which way the thing pulls apart. Many thanks Mark

Hi, Can anyone help me please. Progressing slowly through a nut and bolt rebuild of my 1500 spitfire. Stripped and cleaned one drive shaft, nice and solid. Got to the other drive shaft andhave found about 5mm of play in the drive flange connector along the drive shaft spline. There appears to be holes both sides, one is filled and one is empty - hope this makes sense... Should there be this much play? Am i missing a securing pin? Can i repair or do I have to replace? Many thanks Mark
