Yeah, two metal washers per side. The trap the square sided O ring between
them. My kit didn't have any assembly instructions and the originals had
rotted away long ago so it took me a while to figure out the assembly
method. You can use a light assembly grease such as white lithium to help
Each side of each trunnion has TWO sheet metal washers! One goes between
the lip of the plastic bushing and the trunnion, and the other goes over the lip.
Their raised edges face each other, and sort of overlap.
When you press the plastic pieces into the trunnion, you have to put them through

Hoping to pick someone's brain who has replaced the trunnion bushings. I'm
about to tackle that. I've got the parts and have sort of "dry fit" them on
the kitchen table. I am concerned about exactly what to do w/ the rubber
seals. The Haynes manual just says "fit them." Are they to be fit arou
If you have a propshaft with the "soup can" CVS joint, it is easy to shorten
the shaft enough for it to slip off. The strap-type joint is more of a hassle...

Ummm... very telling point, Richard! I really have no clue... never recall even
looking at a Mk.III shaft, or, if so, taking special note of one... but believe you to
be absolutely correct. Principly a USA '73-'74 1500 Spitfire guy. Sometimes the

Gary's words are very true for those cars without telescopic prop-shafts. I
have a feeling the MkIII was telescopic - but I could very easily be wrong

Simon,
Also, the shaft will not drop out once all the bolts are removed. There is an
'internal lip' of metal where the shaft meets the tranny (i.e. an overlap). So... once
the bolts are removed, you may find (and most likely will) you have to remove the rear
engine mounts (which are often calle
Also make sure that you can turn the propshaft as this is necessary to get to
all the bolts.

Simon,
I've got a 1500, but I very much doubt it's any different. Yes, you can
remove the propshaft entirely from below the car. You will need to remove
the centre section of the exhaust, then you simply undo the 4 nuts at each
end holding it on and it should come right off. However, getting at
Hi,
This may be a silly question but... can you remove the propshaft from a Mk3
spitfire from underneath the car - i.e. without removing the interior?
If so, what need to come off? Exhaust and ?
Thanks,
Simon.
