<P class=MsoNormal>Another question for the panel……<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I was digging for something in one of my boxes of “useful
bits” the other day – we’ve all got such boxes?? – and, at the bottom
languishing undisturbed for 25+ years, I found this mainshaft. (AEC
3486).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Looking at my parts book it would fit a MkII, centre shift,
with or without OD. Not sure about later cars.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve no idea how it wound up in my workshop; it’s never been
in my MkII, that’s for sure. And – touch wood – I have no need of another
mainshaft.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now, it’s damaged with fairly significant damage to the first
20mm of the splines. See pics.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering….. Is it worth keeping? Would it work or would
it just wreck a perfectly good gearbox? Could it be fixed at a worthwhile
price? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Or is it scrap? (I have a nephew-in-law(?) who is a talented
blacksmith who could probably turn it into something or other!!)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>To keep things in more venial perspective, these things cost
£522:00 plus P&P from AHSpares……..<o:p></o:p></P>
