      A lot to be said for that approach. Plus feeling somewhat virtuous on account of your self sacrifice in helping rather than driving (no one need know otherwise) and we won't tell

      From memory, the grease nipple doesn't fit, but you can remove it and fit a plug which does. Then when you wish to grease them you simply stick the grease nipple back in. Though given I'm riding on about 5 hours sleep in the last three days my memory may be suspect, and I didn't do the RBRR!

      Hello Nick                  I have found 2 U/J's on the shelf and I think they are the type in Spitty? GKN TV 10000 GKN -OEM Made in EU 124770 On front of the box and  U2/808029 on a label on the side The ones in Spitty have done 37,000 and 36,250 I have had a couple move in the yoke but managed to fit a thicker circlip and one has not move since! The other still appears to move but has done 5,500 miles this year and no clicking etc so not to worried! These do not have grease nipples(not sure if you could even fit one for greasing on a Spitfire??) GKN Driveline Service Roger

      It was the host service that closed down - or increased it's fees - when according to USRA, contributions had been falling for some time, so the decision was made to fold it.   "Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis" - Times change and we must change with them   John

      Interesting YouTube channels

      Since becoming a homeowner, I have stopped complaining about previous bodges on cars. They're small fry compared to houses (where, as far as I'm concerned, standard practice verges into the 'bodge' category repeatedly). Though, I have aircraft mechanic mates who feel the same way about standard practice automotive engineering, so it's probably all relative to where you cut your teeth. I'd find this very interesting too, mainly because I'm a full-on geek for that sort of thing, but also because I've defended some of his...less lightweight...choices before. Mainly on the grounds of having driven around in cars a lot where I know for damn certain that a given part is going to let go sooner or later, and it's no fun whatsoever. It might be a little neurotic to redesign an already-strong-enough brake pedal to make it even stronger, but if you're a little neurotic anyway and doing so will make you enjoy the driving experience more...why not do it? It's not as if he'll be wanting for power to shove that weight along...
