At last…
A sunny day following a wet day (to get rid of the salt) and the RK has its first biggish run of the year.
Ashamed to relate that I’d not fastened the torque tube bracket down correctly. It must have been sticking when I tightened it up and as soon as we hit the first bump it loosened. Still I can think of worse places to grovel under the car

The axle was changed last year with the old Carden block joint replacing a Hardy Spicer (that is now on the van). It seems very noisy in comparison with the Hardy Spicer but that might be what you pay for originality.
Three weeks to sort things out before the VSCC Welsh Weekend!
