Have you been to see the doctor about your bent shaft and purple nuts yet?

finally got my rear tyres on at work today :smokin:

but i've noticed a problem on the front prop . . . its got a wobble on the splines as the axle has been moved forwards, ive pushed the prop together and it doesnt wobble so ive ordered an 18 mm prop spacer from bits4vits to cure that

but for now i've just removed the prop so MOT man cant say anything

i think its ready for mot on monday :guns:
