Thanks - they look great, I'll probably make up a set and give them a
try. Have you ever lost a coupling, and actually tried these things out in
anger, so to speak? I ask because a friend of mine has now lost two
couplings, and spent a lot of money on repairs - the last one took out not
only the suspension on the corner, the driveshaft, a bunch of frame, but
also the Hewland bearbox housing! While I will probably make mine, since I
have a full machine shop at home, I've passed your note and picture on to
my colleague.
Thanks!
