What a plonker. Boy racers regularly burnt out the shafts on 850s.
It was the CV joints - I know, I was there. A mate of mine was so used
to doing them on his rally car he reckoned about ten minutes a side or
somesuch.
They were ****, though.
Also, talking of CV joints, the ones on the Imps were dreadful -
especially aftermarket ones. Iirc, there was a fix for that; making
sure the replacement was from a particular source.
Imps were rear-engined, rear wheel drive and had swing axles like
triumph spitfires. AFAIK At the inboard end was a rubber doughnut
arrangement to allow the angular flexing, not a CV joint as we
now know of ??.
