PROPSHAFT SHIM

Nev's new book gives a dimension from the bell housing face to the front of the propshaft spline. I found mine was 1/4" to the rear so a shim is required. I found a penny stuck into the gearbox input shaft that was dated 1971 so I assume the car was restored in that year. It looks like the 1971 penny was soldered to the end of the propshaft at some point.

I made a plug from some nylon shaft I had on hand and deducted the thickness of the 1971 coin plus the 2019 coin that I added. Car value is going up!!
