Interesting photos Swissghost, do you have any of the other side, the clutch and Centa drive? Not something you see or hope to see too often but nice to know what it should look like. Although maybe a little more vibration at times the Centa drive is worth the outlay and trouble. For information, when I had it done at Malvern I got some money back on the old unit as an exchange item.

With the engine out you would have thought the welded in brace would have been the better option.
