Driveshaft reasessmbly

Reassembling the driveshafts.

Tuesday 7th June 2016: Front lenses arrive from California with rubbers, brass inserts and bolts.

17th May 2016: restoration of a pair of Lobro driveshafts.  POR15 painted shafts, new boot and flanges (here test-fitted to one of the shafts), to be re-assembled and greased.

Monday 8th June 2015.  Here's the fuel sender unit after clean-up and assembly.  Replacing and re-soldering the internal resistance wire float runners and the warning light circuit makes cleaning the internals much easier.  Using a micrometer, I discovered the thickness of the resistance wires are 0.1mm for the float and 0.27mm for the warning light.
