If I remember correctly the short shaft had problems, closer to the spline than where yours broke, I have seen two others break with both being just past the spline.

Default cheap home hardware paint

Hey. Here is the paint code for the colour chip (that fell off the truck) I took to Home Hardware and had them scan on their computer. They produced this paint for me in the beauty tone rust paint. It is the brown-green paint, glossy. It works good and at around $36.00 a gallon (3.48L) can it is cheap. It is mixed to a clear base.

Product: 1823-389
size: B-Y26
Colour:H-7y 12 (could be H-74 12)
Formula:2-36

I will be getting a new batch done up so I can paint my frame and undercarriage. It will also be used to paint the old green truck a solid green.

I will get some better photos of the colour on the truck for you.
Ewen

Thanks very much Ewen ! I will look into that.
I have been really busy with other things but I'm itching to get going on mine again soon. Also I want to get some pictures up for you guys, just can't find the time lately. I will soon though. I promise
