March 08 the back axle was stripped down. The axle was 0.030" bent. Tired to straighten it within 0.020 inch (20 thou) The back axle was a 1979 section back axle that DAT has always moaned about so decide to replace with a current section one (£220).
1st gear the sprocket centre is 0.010" too big. The centre wasn't slit so it couldn't clamp up. When it was slit it, it seemed too week and well worn so decided to get a new one. The blank took 3 hours of machining and has the same ratio ie 40 teeth.
Also spotted a huge crack in the cross member which was welded up- spot the old weld marks
