Rocklobster fitting/propshafts

Finally fitted my rocklobster

Couple of questions for you.

The front SJ prop thats used as a rear looks very compressed. I probably have about a flange widths play left in compression is this ok?

Secondly how have people sealed up the sj speedo take off? Or does it even need doing?

Thanks

i stuck some grease in there and when i jet wash her i put more in the hole lol as check for damage on etc

I have a little bit more than that on my prop with a 3" lift, to seal up the speedo take off i used a 15mm yorkshire stop end which you will get at any diy store. its a perfect fit but i glued it in place to make sure

I'm off to the diy shop after seeing that. Thanks

Mine has a 2" lift so maybe I need to think about going bigger to get a little more free play.

Neat job P1ngu32, how are you doing? There's a BORDC trial at Lumsden on the 22nd, I'll not be there cos we're away on hols but it's not far from you.
Cheers,
John.

Cheers john, i'm good, won't be getting to any trials this year unfortunately, we have litterally just had our first baby so thats put things on hold for a wee while at least, some thing to think about for the future though!

you might be ok with the freeplay that you have, the axles tend to twist one way or the other so you would only ever be compressing one spring fully, you would possibly have to jump some thing with the jimny to compress both sides of the suspension enough to bottom out the prop.
