JamieP Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I was going to fit it yesterday but it rained, today im out for the day. Might not be the prop, gearbox might be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It might be the manifold, the same thing happened to Brian O`Coner when doing excesive speeds just before the floor gave way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Prop is 100% bent, I had it on a ramp a min ago and with my mate turning the wheels by hand the prop moves up and down about 3 or 4mm, Second time this DSS prop has failed.

hodge Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've been reading a few threads on SF about driveshaft shop props having bad vibrations. A lot of people recommend Dynosaur driveshafts. There's a company on the the same ind est I work on make driveshafts and props etc, im going to call in and have a chat with them once I get the car sorted out.

I totally like the idea of 300 quid. I'm in no hurry, don't think I'll need 1 until its dynod again. So I'm happy to let you be the guinea pig first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Just spoke to Frank at DSS, he said to send it back and he will repair it, Im going to send it to the UK place first though for them to use to make me one the right length.
