Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I've got a quick question for you all. (I mean slow and long winded)
Does anyone know off the top of their heads (or have I missed a previous thread) the type &/or part# for uni joints for a Bellett sedan?
As a number of members know the universal joints in my '65 "donkey" have been knackered since before Coona 2010.
A trip down the highway is like driving through the sound barrier in slow motion and I really need to sort it out before something goes horribly wrong. I haven't pulled them out as yet but I do have about 3mm of rattle and slop in all directions and it's time to fix - interestingly enough too is that I started getting bit of a wierd knock in the rear whilst cornering and apon checking the rear drive shafts I found the rear drivers side holding by 1 bolt sort of tightened, 1 not even done up finger tight and 2 missing.
Now rectified. No doubt some of the vibration was coming from this issue but as my play time under the car ended there fixing that I thought I would put the part number game on the board. This way rather then loosing another day pulling to pieces and not putting back together, with a little guidence from the Bellett family I'm hoping to source the parts then get it done in the 1 day, as little time wasted as possible that could be spent cruising the Sandgate foreshore and sharing some beautiful Bellett heritage with the locals. (by beautiful I mean crusty green - rat style)
Long winded story I know so to put it simply.......
Could someone please tell me what universal joints suit the Bellett sedan?
