Well I pop out in the mini today, weather was nice, at last! only for the below to happen, I'm doing bloody well of late! Still it could have happened miles away I guess.

not a hugh problem realy. and not a big surprise really considering that your shafts have probably had more stick than any other a series shaft i can think of.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

The exact same thing happened to Ben's Allegro, so not necessarily a power related problem.

I won't tell to many people that the shafts can brake on an Allegro to, doesn't sound to clever lol. Carl, yes i have thought about this, as being now around 800 kgs (with spare tools in ect) It can't be good for the parts to push it along, and being ligher must be less stressful. Right I'm going to avon then, As T3 is right he'll never get there, and i want to see the old boy run! minimadj, I only went in 1/2 inch with the grinder, thought but lighering these it might help lol. 800 kgs is a hevy old lump. see you there then and bring lots of film for the camera.lol |

Matt, i know the CV was ok, I meant from the pint of view that the shafts are stronger, although now i think about it don't minispares do shafts that havent got the inner ring groove machined in and just have a ring tack welded on..?
