I wonder if the tyre noise would get on my nerves.

today (well thursday) I sucessfully snapped the driveshaft in 2. Pulled it out and confirmed its bollocksed yesterday, today Im trying to research who can make a driveshaft for me with splines on both ends but one end is about 2x diameter the other.
That or I put the original diff and shaft back in but the gearing is outright rediculous on that, i.e. first gear is pretty much only for burnouts.

Had a tinker with the Old Fella's Triumph. A few weeks ago it was running nicely, now it's doing a combustion pig impression 
Spark plugs wet, relatively clean and with the correct gap. Spark is pretty weak though. Coils are relatively new, correct ohmage for both sides. From a process of elimination can only put it down to the old Lucas AB11 "ignition amplifier". It's the original 40+ year old part so we're going to try the "Rex's Rita Rebuild" board, see if that sorts it.
With a multimeter: voltage across the coils ~11V. With the Lucas unit disconnected ~12.6V (the battery voltage)
