Mine is fixed to the shaft and that bolt removes it from the shaft in the truck leaving the uj on the engine bay piece.

Done it now. Got fed up with it so I just shortened the flange and splined shaft at the box.

Someone tell me to strip my bonnet and get it and the front clip painted. I seem to be lacking motivation.

Apart from that all I need to do is make a seat mount for the passenger side and finish the bumper but Trotter has kidnapped my welder!
