    Rear doughnut

    I think I know the answer to this, cost. Instead of the bush that prevent radial movement, you could have 2 triangular pieces of metal, one each side that bolts onto the doughnut. This would stop the radial movement, it would not affect the tangential movement. I wonder how long the doughnut would last without the radial movement.

    I cant imagine it would retain alignment and you would end up with vibrations given the donut is flexible. The spigot retains radial alignment of the prop/flange where the 2 plates wouldn’t do that assuming I’m understanding your concept correctly. The tail shaft flange and the pinion flange are doing the same thing anyway.
    Cheers

    If I could be shagged I'd knock one up... I think it would maintain alignment. The metals plate are bolted to the prop shaft ob one side and the diff on the other. It couldn't move. Bl;alnsing the plates could be tricky!

    Key words like balancing would help others find this thread in the search bar if needed, no need to get your back up he was just correcting it not doubting your intelligence. Cheers

    I just picked up an RRC propshaft and diff with the pinion flange to suit.
    Doughnut delete has to be a better option?

    More of a pain in the arse to fix the rear diff to suit, I think.
