[Clive Loynes]

I have just assembled a pair of "Puck-Drives" for my TC02C drive shafts using some worn out out-drives.

The picture also shows the assembly and dismantling tool that I have made from an odd scrap of aluminium in order to avoid damage to the brass pucks whilst the pins are driven in.

The only problem that I encountered was that the 6mm ball-end on the drive shaft was not true to the drive pin. As a result there was a slight tight spot but after dressing the ball-end with a needle file I then ran the joint in a cordless drill for a couple of minutes and all is fine.

I shall probably give them one run without lubricant to knock off the high spots and then use some graphite loaded penetrating oil on them from there on. The penetrating oil evaporates to just leave the graphite and it also repels water without any greasy mess to attract dust and grime. I intend to do that with the outboard end also.
