My sympathy to you too. At least you are finding things wrong that are better repaired but having done such a superb restoration it must be very anoying to be taking it to bits again.
I note that you had new brass bushes made for the drive shafts. If they are being lubricated with any EP grade of oil they will already be dead as the EP additives attack brass / bronze resulting in the bearing surface breaking up at a microscopic scale and wearing away very quickly. You probably knew this but I thought I would throw it in anyway !
Good luck with getting this sorted out.
David
