Those rubber driveshaft doughnuts - they look like these....

 

Now could you please be a kind young man and measure them up for me? Width across the steel inserts, diameter of bolts, pcd etc

Are they cheap/where are they cheap/where should I get some?

[azzurro 3,726]

they are called guibos/driveshaft rubbers/donut joints/flexible couplings and are pretty cheap, and i can send you the old one i just took out of the ute if the dimensions look promising for you to try?

Ill have a measure up tonight

Cheap from here - $US12.50 of your capitalist hard currency plus shipping comrade:

GUIBO

Pcd ~112-113mm for M12 bolts that go in the holes that are 56mm deep excl the tang bits.

ID of the hole in the donut is ~55mm and OD ~145mm

[yoeddynz 11,634]

sweet- cheers! I'll have a measure up soon. I think some Imp folk have been using modified BMW items too so I must look into those as well. Some how I dont think they'll be quite as cheap though....

[azzurro 3,726]

It may be that the bmw and fiat/lada items are same but idk for sure.

Also pcd is without compression. The metal band it to allow installation so flange pcd is a few mm less but measuring a circle that passes through a triangle is hard irl

[yoeddynz 11,634]

Bugger. Pcd is 12mm too big thereabouts. My search continues. There's a whole 6 page long thread didicated to failing couplings and alternatives. It's frequented by Imp barrys of the highest order. 

I shall go there.

Probably a busted rollpin in the 3rd-4th fork.

Good to see it's not making soup

Yeah, i figured something like that, i haven't looked inside it (and probably wont!), but it kinda felt and sounded like those gears were spinning on the shaft or something.

i had a cursory look before i installed it and it seemed clean/nothing obviously broken, which is the full extent of my gearbox checking/testing/fixing skillz, but i will look at the diagrams and see if i can get my head around it.

Im glad the engine seems ok too, im hoping the tapping is just valve clearances and not something more serious from hydrolocking or something, but the bottom ends of these engines are very stout and i checked  that #1  piston wasnt sitting lower than #4  at TDC

 for the most part i was just getting it running before adding coolant, and once it was and i added it, the starter laboured and would nae start (i thought flat battery initially) so hopefully no harm no foul apart from wasting a lot of oil, coolant, money and time...

Ok this is the thread I was ment to drop it in. Supercharged 12a rotary. Pretty cool.

You didn't drill the hole for the sensor first did ya? 

[azzurro 3,726]

yeah i did.  18mm hole same as the bung thread

i jammed a 11mm deep socket with masking tape on it to centre the bung on the hole/help the magnets hold it up if that what you mean

[NickJ 2,094]

I weld the bung on first then use that to guide the drill

[azzurro 3,726]

But then I would have needed to weld another bung ontop of the now flogged out first one

The bungs I use have a small lip to go in a pre drilled hole

You want the bung hole to be a tight fit usually

Sorry to see you having such a battle with the carbs and very suprised you're having problems with that sensor as it was used very few times from new before that car was parted

Tight fit in the bunghole, gotcha

Hey bowl, no complaints here.

I havnt fitted the Weber sideys yet cause the manifold needs some mods. I also want to use the gauge to tune the single carb i have first (some jets for it from aliexpress turned up yesterday).

The sensor issue, well that just happens. I was hoping it would work, but also expecting to have to replace the sensor, as they are very fragile and finicky. Postage or kicking around on the floor of my shed, or maybe my ute runs so shit it gummed it up immediately?

Actually It now drops out of heater mode, but the gauge just flicks between min 7.2 or max 22.4 AFR. Maybe had a bit of a loose connection initially, and now ive truly fucked it?

Im waiting on a serial cable and usb adaptor to arrive to be able to connect up the gauge to my laptop and see what it says/update the firmware/re calibrate it etc.

Super happy to hear that you have orange peel to deal with.. Not happy for you but happy that I'm not the only one who will be sanding sanding sanding. My imp paint job is like a moon surface..
