Hello Stude Addicts
Thanks for all the help on installing my NOS TT axle.   Following sound
advice I had a professional dismantle and inspect it before
installation.   I figured I would have to replace the seals and there
was the possibility the shafts and/or bearings might have rusted in
place.   The Austin Drive-train folks told me that the internal parts
all look like they were built yesterday.   It really is NOS.
I have not yet installed it; the old one is still in place.   Currently
I am in a fight to the death with a stubborn spring shackle bolt.
Question:   will the drive shaft have to be shortened?  I did not think
about that until today.  It will need new U bolts aka "clips"  and
plates.   HD springs are being installed also and they are a bit
thicker than stock.
Thanks again
Tony in Austin
