RE: .28 in a funfactor? oh dear....
any pics scouser? sounds like u have just dumped nearly all the cen transmission. [8D]
does it all mesh up ok, gear wise, apart from the shaft rubbing? and as for that rubbing, cant u just grind a bit off the shaft - or am i misunderstanding the prob?
oh and what size bearing do u need - im guessing its a somethingx15x4?
