how come this expert didnt know how to align prop? the angle of yokes gets greater the shorter you go so giving less axle movement

Because he had nothing to do with mounting the gear box that was my work yes they don't align but the prob doesn't sit at awkward angles or bind under articulation

Poor bodge it may be but when we shorted the drive shaft we calculated the prop length at full articulation and full compression so there fine for the job at hand I, sure your conversion will be better as you have money to spend but I don't ,im just ,making the most of what I've got and why can't I get 45mpg I have free wheeling hubs I'm running a 200tdi disco engine with a 300tdi fuel pump and injectors

I have little spare cash to spend on my project I'm an engineering student too

Have you put in the series gubbins in the transfer box then if you're using FWH's as you wouldn't get drive with them engaged, 45 just seems a little on the high side though

you must have a 300tdi head then ?

Nope the injectors are sat in sleeves that were lathed to fit and the pump was opened up just a little to get the air to fuel mixture right again

interesting how did you know fuel air ratio was wrong ?

The engine wouldn't black smoke at all so we just opened the pump a little so she black smoked a little when revved hard
