I had a minor mishap. It could have been a lot worse but thankfuly it wasn't. I decided to take the 25 to Glastonbury to pick up some take-out for dinner. I got about 5 driveways away and noticed a bad vibration. I pulled over and saw one of the driveshaft bolts on the rear pinion was loose. I didnt investigate any further than that and turned it around to head home REAL slow. Well, as I turned into my driveway I hear the unmistakable clunk of the driveshaft coming loose. I coasted to a stop and figured I'd see the driveshaft on the ground. But it wasn't. The t-case end had actually come off. When it did, it took a good size chunk out of the cast e-brake drum. Fortunately, thats all that it did. The PO had used junk non metric grade 5 bolts which are just small enough to allow some movement. I guess it was enought to loosen them up. I found some more fitting bolts and re-installed everything. So is the drum 25 specific or do 40's use the same drum?
Got the tail lights installed too Now I just need to wire them.
