And there you have it! although this is a mock up, need to weld them together.

didn't fancy the old hack'n'tap so i'm trying the groove'n'circlip concept


so I took off both props marked up the groove started  the jeep put it in reverse and begun cutting with the grinder

test fitted the unwelded yoke and circlip

sadly I can't use the orginal cone so need to make a new rear seal holder which is to come .

Good work and brain activity, much respect  :greggmo:

Hack and tap that turns up in a box from RE with drill bit included is a damn load easier though  :icon_winkle:

I get it, my comment definitely wasn't a jibe. Drilling mine for the hack n tap was easy, maybe it's cos I sliced the end off - it might just be the outside that's hard.

Keep the photos and tech coming  :greggmo:

James I didn't take that way  :056:  I hate drilling  :die: . The spare TC i'm using for bits I experimented with on drilling with minimial amount hacked of each time did get easier  but i'm not a great fan of chopping off to much spline .

What did you gain from this? The length looks to be about the same as original and you would have no increase in strength. Did you require a CV joint because of an extream lift?

I now run the same prop front and back so less spares for the get me home factor and the old prop was on its limit of flex also there's about a  2” difference in lenght .

Here's the cut,'n'shut cone
