Yer just realised thats the bearing caps that have broken. Thats cool, will order some new UJs and refurb that one as a spare. Need to get it back up and running ASAP as I have to get some welding done on Wednesday in time to get the MOT retest done on Friday hopefully.

Are the broken bits not part of the prop casing? Anyway got one cheap from a guy in our club so if this one is servicable i can sort it later and have it as a spare.

If ya got another prop to stick on then that's good, but keep that one and repair the bit thats shot is a cap that gets pushed over the bearing so easy repaired get a new uj comes with all you need and you just press in

When you get a new UJ you will replace the center bit and the caps (the broken bit in that pic), all you retain is the prop and the flange (the solid chunky bits that never break).

But like you say, keep it as a spare that way its a quick swap next time as they always go...

I like that bit, never break..............................I've broken one before, along with a bent trailing arm.

We should change your name to guinea pig, if you can't break it, it's good to go on our landys

It was my own fault for having tiny dia arms.
Why don't you put up a basha (tarp) to do your welding from.

I went and bought a pop up gazebo from halfords last week. Think its going to get some serious useage this week

Picked up my new bumper today and it's in better condition than I expected.
Not keen on bull bars and I was going to cut it off the bumper (ARB) but think I'll clean it up and leave it on. But I'm going to have to upgrade my front springs to HD.
