    Triumph drive shafts...

    Promoted by the Cabrio drive shaft post I noticed that Canley Classics are no longer producing the CV conversion kit for rubber donut based small Triumphs...

    Is anyone using that kit on an early Roadster?

          No I was talking about these;

          But good that there's an alternate source of a comparable item.

              What is the betting that Rimmers bought stock from Canley, so they will run out soon too?

                  They look like completely different designs...

                      I don't know of any Marlins that have CV joint drive shafts but quite a few Mk2 Vitesse and GT6 owners have fitted these. Still doesn't overcome the intrinsic setting up
                      of the wheel hubs which require very accurate shimming.
                      Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!
