The midget is back on the road. What a difference it makes having a
drive shaft yoke that doesn't slop around in the output shaft
bushing!! It runs smooth as silk.
I notice my diff is leaking drips of oil. While it was sitting idle
for nearly a month, an oil spot about 8 inches across formed. I am
assuming this is a common problem but am wondering if anyone has
suggestions on how to minimize this? Plumbers tape on the drain plug
threads??
Not having looked at it closely, I seem to recall that the drain plug
is some sort of recessed affair. Anyone know the size? Anyone know
where to get a magnetic plug?
I had quite a time trying to get the bonnet back on evenly. Finally
got *near* and quit figuring on making it beautimuss later on. I am
missing bolts for the bonnet on this MKIII - Anyone know the size of
these?
Thanks in advance for any help..
Cheers!!
