[TR] DPO Award:)

[Joe Curry]

Sounds reminiscent of the rear axle flanges I found when I was restoring my
first Spit.

The DPO apparently either didn't know that there is a difference in early
and later axle flanges and had a large later flange welded to he output
shaft of the Diff.

Needless to say, I had to find both a new output shaft and an early flange
to put it right.

Drug a TR6 rear hub out of a pile of parts over the weekend to pull apart
for
a project and noticed some neat features. First the gator covering the half
shaft splines had been upgraded to one of those clear plastic pouches with a
zipper you bought for your kids when they were in about second grade to keep
the crayons and pencils in and then attached with coat hanger. Then I look
at
the u-joints and see that the u-joint caps have been tack welded to the
yolks
in place of cir-clips.  I guess they had not planned on replacing them any
time soon.  Jeez:(
