: Just got a call from the doctor:
:
: The squirrel died.
:
: I'M GONNA HAVE A FIVE SPEED!
:
: Gentelmen, pass out the cigars.
:
: I brought the "one inch too
: long" Tri/Toy combo shaft and an
: extra Triumph input shaft to a machine
: shop, explained the problem, promised
: to deliver my first born if fixed, went
: to church and lit every candle in
: sight.
:
: Got the call yesterday. The guy was
: able to fix it! And he said he didn't
: even need to use the extra Triumph
: shaft. When I heard that, I knew the
: rest:
:
: As I feared, the folks that initially
: attempted to make the combo shaft
: fouled-up the mating. There was barely
: any interference contact and the shaft
: WOULD have come apart almost
: immediately if installed. The extra
: modifications of the adapter plate,
: drive shaft, tunnel cover and rear
: engine mount would all have been for
: naught! (whew)
:
: Hopefully I'll get the tranny
: reassembled and the drivetrain
: completed on my next vist to the
: project. Along with that are designing
: and installing the new exhaust system,
: long range fuel system and the pick-ups
: for the (get this) "Cruise
: Control".
:
: Yes - I have apparently gone mad
:
: Ciao guys! - Jim M

: Well, this is a little in advance of
: "the operation", but I could
: use some advice on how to get the input
: shaft out of the gear box.
:
: I obviously don't have a Churchill
: Tool, but we've all taken these LBCs
: apart without special tools. So I'm
: sure some combination of rubber bands
: and sledge hammers will get the job
: done.
