    They do give plenty of notice before coming apart

    Agree mate.
    And I trust my TW shaft a bucket load more than the stocker, especially as I can service the centreing bearing

    Now a bash plate for the transmission is something I'd like

    But I’d rather have both that and a transmission protector for those that do let go without notice.

    I can't recall too many TW ones coming apart?
    You've had yours for a long time now.

    Bash plate yep.

    If I wasn't inclined towards maintenance , then a better design would be a steel ring close to the double cardan end which allowed for articulation but contained the shaft from flailing around, protecting not only the trans but more importantly , your legs !.

    The TW are pretty reliable. I'd break one about every 11months until he started making his own socket flanges years ago and havent had one break (touch wood) since and I was running them front and rear. The new style are the ones with greasable centre bearings. To be honest, when the DC goes, I personally think its the centre bearing that does it and then you see the result of that in the failed uni's. I've got so many rebuild spare parts from Tom for these things from the early days but they've been gathering spiderwebs on the shelf for years now! It's why I always reommend TW 1310 shafts and not just any 1310 shaft. The standard 1300 has a smaller centre bearing than the TW 1310, Toms 1310's I'm pretty sure run the same centre bearing as the 1350's and with his socket flanges from my experiences at least I think they're a permanent fix.
    Cheers
