It was removed by the previous owner, or at least by the specialist he used in Edinburgh. He allowed me to speak to the mechanic directly to confirm the car's history etc and I'm confident it was only removed to save fuel (just being used as their family car around town).
I'd like to try green lanes/off roading though so she's going back on!
How do I ensure the brackets are lined up with the prop? The mounting holes are elongated in the front-back direction but there's no room for movement side to side. Is the best way to re-install to loosely install the centre brackets, tighten both ends of the prop correctly into place then nip up the centre's last?
The brkts need to be at right angles to the prop or you will put too much load on the bearings, with the elongated holes it's easy to adjust correctly.
