Original 1275GT Rebuild

Those inner CVs are actually universal joints. They pre-date CV joints.

Dom, from what I've seen, the earlier cars had the two bolts coming up from the subframe through the bulkhead, while the later cars I've seen had the bolts coming 'down' into the subframe from above. This obviously for SA-spec cars, as we never changed over to the rubber mounted and single bolt frame. I could be wrong though, so don't quote me on this haha.

Also, regarding the driveshafts; those inner joints are Hardy Spicer type joints. More solid and durable than the rubber cross type joint.

We think it's '71/'72 car Dom. Can't quite remember now. The previous owner scrapped the car . . .

That's interesting.
Both my bullnoses are 72/73 and they have some of the later features.

Has this car got a big or small capacity tank? Or did the clubbys only come out with big capacity?
