a couple of days ago i went to pick up a roll cage, and i managed to snap a drive shaft while crossing the a1 in rush hour, which shook me up a bit, slowly rolling across the motorway as 3 lorrys were coming towards me, and all i could see is the revs and speed going up but i wasnt mooving !!!!!!!!!!!!! but got across ok and managed to pull over in a little village, i rang the lad who i got the roll cage off and explained the situation, his username on the 106 oweners club is Dougal, very nice lad and very helpful, so he came down, jacked my car up and changed the driveshaft by the side of the road, and then followed me home to check the car was ok and nothing went wrong, still cant stop saying thank you to him,
here is where the driveshaft snapped, there was no sign of wear on it before that, and the shaft wasnt even very old, + when i pulled off i did pull off fairly hard to get across but only managed to get up to 3k rpm and then it went
it was the passanger side one, this is the part that goes into the gearbox
and here is the other part of the drive shaft
and then here is a couple of pictures of the cage that will be fitted tomorrow, and then ill get the door and roof bars made up this or next week, think my best bet is to weld it in, or else iv got to drill holes in the car to put bolts threw, so either way it wont be coming out,
