Useful youtube linking methods

by sf Email

Just a note to myself  to remember that this is possible?

 

Link for playing youtube video at a specific time point (called deep linking it seems), add #1m01s  e.g

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzOWPGHcrII#t=4m02s#t=4m05s

 

add &fmt=18 it will play in high quality (for vids that have HQ available)

UJ’s for defender propshaft

by sf Email

 

Making a note to myself here as it always bloody confusing

Bearmach UJ?s have a partnumber RTC4132    (seems it unique to BM!)

This part is equivalent to Land Rover UJ part numbers:
GUJ103, RTC3291, GUJ116, RTC3458, 43203.

 

Microcat says my UJ are RTC3458

BeamEnds describe RTC3458 and RTC3191 as Propshaft UJ ?Short Cup' type.

Seems that the RTC3458 genuine doesn?t a have a greaser nipple where as the RTC3191 does (more landrover cost saving).

 

The BearMach RTC4132 has the grease nipple.

 

My Defender 110 has 4 x RTC4132 fitted.

Update: For some reason my  front propshaft hasn?t got these UJ?s at all ! It?s got smaller ones. Will edit post with part number when I get them ? hate hate hate the things.

 

UPDATE AGAIN (15TH OCT 2009)

I am beginning to suspect that bearmach had put wrong labels on the boxes of the UJ?s I had from the landroverorphanage. I have measured all mine including on spare front prop and they are all 2 15/16? (approx 2.937 decimal inch) across the cups, which corresponds to RTC3458/RTC3291 which *should* be same as bearmach?s RTC4132. All the UJ?s I actually got supplied in the RTC4132 boxes where 3 3/16" (approx 3.187 decimal inch )across the cups which corresponds to RTC3346.

 

So?. I will state again for my record?. my Defender has 4 off RTC34132 (RTC3291) fitted included 2 of same on the spare front prop.
