i had to get a head drilled out for larger head studs a few years ago , could be an option if you can't sus anything else out. we had to enlarge one of the rear ones a bit more for the oil supply too. was evo 3 head on a 6 bolt vr4 block.

ask for a d shaft yoke to suit an old sigma driveshaft from a ute gearbox someone will have one. good luck

could also try that rwd mitsi Facebook page, lots of people on there with parts that may have a yoke. will have a look in my parts paddock today and see if theres one

think the easiest to find gearbox yoke for you to find would be to go to pick a part and find a yoke off a L300 van , some of them ran the yoke you need. you need the larger shaft with the smaller driveshaft end bit. they are out there.

any plans on garage storing her?

 Is this the Ford that links up to Busby road? If it is I have a funny story about that one

yes it is, grew up there. go on..

got pissed and thought i could drive across the ford in katikati. back wheels started floating so lost drive, stash floated away. we took the sump plug out and let the water out till the oil started coming out then drove it back home to tauranga, (was many years ago) 76 1850 colt. 

next? anyone got a half car seat?

have one of these, would be good with a roll bar. 4wd and really short. weld up the diff etc, lots of room for a tray.  

 mean van heres my cut down one. 2L . cut the back off but regret it now as it had hardly any rust. 

hi there have put a newer engine in my old van but have had to drop the engine crossmember down 24mm, (1980 L300) have machined up some alloy blocks for the job, is this okay? or should i modify my crossmember with the mig?

engine x member is seperate to the front end x member.

didn't the early L200's run the smaller output shaft or am i wrong? but had the larger input shaft?

have a vh45 here with a porsche manifold for $1000 has loom and everything. manifold hasn't been adapted yet but have some thick billet blocks for it,  go v8

had a look and they do have pressed in pin\stub, they are from 'x2 industries' hopefully they have a good name for themselves.

thanks for the advice.

hi i have brought some 2" drop spindles off a guy for my 1980 L300 van, they have come with a ndt test sheet. can i get a cert with these? or do they have to be a certain brand etc? think they are from the usa. would like to know before installing them, cheers.

have got the same 125 honda trike at home, they have a low high selection lever and a hi-torque? lever on the gearbox have a play around with them as mine is a bit sticky\trouble to select sometimes, may help.

theres a brown one of these sitting in the front of a paddock in rural raglan if anyone wants to know where it is just ask. looked quite tidy, but poo brown would hide rust easy. been there for ages.

had my one crack around the bottom 3 days out of warranty . wouldn't buy another one, look nice though.

can you push it the other way? we use this system on our mud pumps at work, normally a bit of a smack with a rubber mallet and the shaft comes out, although yours could be old and dry.  some of them have multiple widths of 'rope' so quite a thick gland.
