Ib] Recall on the 1993 London to Sydney Marathon one of the big Holden broke a half shaft, but there was just enough spline left to just engage if the shaft were lengthened by about 1.5inches. A workshop spent hours turning and hammering the shaft by hand to slim it and lengthen it. It was enough to get them going until a spare was found! [/b]
We had the brokenexhaust manifold welded up our Twin Cam Cortina (not a simple shape) by taking it to our taxi driver's "cousin" who had a workshop and he did it outside in the street using the straight edge of a drain cover as a guide! No goggles, no gloves.It fitted fine & was still on the car to the end of the rally....and an Alpine Rally and a Panama to Alaska! Boreham would have been proud!I
