- Fellow Spitfire Listers, The driveshaft on my '72 Spitfire is the 'strap' type, and some of the straps are broken. They are approx. 3" long, 3/4" wide, .035-.040" thick, and made from spring steel, a

- Because in order to take it off and put it back on again, all you have to do is remove the flange, not both the flange bolts and the bolts that hold the straps on. As you probably already know, the s

- In my opinion, it is also a more durable arrangement. Trying to put that much torque through those tiny straps, which are flexing (fully reversed cycles) with every rotation of the driveshaft sounds

- i think you are a little misguided, joe. i have the strap type on my car and i've also had the driveshaft out more than twice without undoing more than 8 bolts (4 at the gearbox, and 4 at the diff).

- on the other end of the straps there is a splined shaft, this allows the strap fixture to flex in and out. I removed mine and cleaned it real well so if it did need to flex it will. I wouldn't make o
