Dear fellows,
as you discussed about rear springs I did remember that my rear spring
bushes are at least 25 years old - maybe even the original ones!
Modern bushes are made of polyurethane (not PU foam, hah-haa!) and I have
heard that they are guite easily produced by turning in an usual lathe. Is
that something like a fairytale?

Another thing is I bought an overdrive box from ebay. Now I need a shorter
propeller shaft, was it so that a standard MGB shaft fits straight in place?

BTW, now I understand why my engine was so civilized when idling and
slow-reving. There was a 8.5" clutch with a huge flywheel, maybe from a
Commer Cob / Hillman Husky or even from a Commer truck??

Your eastern echo

Lauri, Helsinki
