Thanks Alan. I did eyeball that line (I should run a string along it) and it
seems like the shaft won't interfere with the x-member. But I'm off to the last
flea market of the season, then the salvage yard to scrounge for a driveshaft.
I installed a new set of leafs from Chassis Engineering. They seem reasonably
stiff, probably more so than the Caravan's (I used to own a couple of them).
Now if I can just get my son to work on that web page for me, I'll try scanning
some pics to post up for "work in progress". Stay tuned. BTW, I didn't know
you were Irish :^)
Everytime I say that, old Murphy comes up to bite me again, and HE'S Irish!!
