Vibration

I put a salisbury on a 88, then the prop shaft was 4 centimeters too long, i cut it, sodered it, put the yokes in the same plan and soldered the spring fixation on the axle so that the salisbury "nearly" pointed to the transfer box, and curiously, i have got no vibrations. In fact i got vibrations one time, but it was because i had lost two wheel nuts and nearly lost the three others. At the beginning, i wanted to put a double yoke on the transfer side, but could not manage to find the adaptator. I am nearly sure of the fact that if the input and output axle (ie transfer box and differential nose) are parallels, you dont need do put the yokes out of phase. If they are not paralleles like in the new land rovers and if you put them out of phase , in one direction, it will be better when accélérating and worse when desceleration (and reverse). good luck

If you had a fax number I could fax you that article in LRO International...but you haven't and I haven't time to email it so looks like you are going to be floundering for a while yet!

Derry H,

If you can give me the details of the LROI issue (month and year) and page number I can scan it and send it to Liam.

Take care Pantelis

I tried it as a .jpg, I tried it as a TIFF, I tried it as a .Gif, then as a .pdf, even OCR, and all files were so large they'd have taken a month to email. But it is highly probably I am doing something wrong. Strangely, I can get fax and snail mail to work quite well -- certainly faster than scanning and emailing....

Derry

You may be scanning at too high resolution - 100dpi should be more than adequate for this sort of thing, 75dpi should be acceptable. Then save as JPG to get it small.

Don't bother zipping the Jpegs (as some people do) as it makes no difference - in fact they sometimes get bigger.

Derry Hi,

I will also give it a try as a reduced analysis .jpeg file.

Only problem is that I now do not have the e-mail address of the person who was looking for it. Is it possible for him to get in touch with me. I will try and scan the article tonight or tomorrow.

Take care and thanks Pantelis

It does depend a little on just what the original is, but a .jpg is not always the best format.

If you have a program such as Paintshop Pro, it's possible to greatly reduce the number of colours, or grey-levels for monochrome images, without losing detail. With a clean image, as near to black and white as you can get, a .gif can be a lot smaller than a .jpg

It's also worth seeing if the .jpg compression can be increased.

if you can get it monochrome, then a 2-colour gif tend to be very small.

meanwhile, I once had a look at the way jpeg affects images, Picture Publisher allows you to preview the file at different jpeg settings, and it ain't half clever the way it works.

mind you, I seem to recall ham pictures on the amiga having improbably small file sizes for large detailed graphics. In fact, ISTR the amiga graphics being significantly better then PCs, though the PCs seem to have caught up now.

Didn't Amigas have an independant no. of bits per pixel? AFAIK PCs have never included that feature.

I've an idea that was how the ham pictures worked, or summat like. I know someone who would know the answer, IYSWIM.

Derry thanks,

Liam has already got it.

Just for those who suggested solutions. Here's one for you: Computers aren't meant to work. They are a device from the Far East invented to drive the West crazy. I mean, how the heck do you change the oil? And when?

and the spark plugs, getting quite practiced at that. Put some Champion N7YC in, and if they overheat, I dunno what I do.

The NGKs which have come out are quite new, and look as though they have been running a bit hot. will see this afternoon if the problems have gone.

still waiting on leads.

might be...

new plugs made it better, but not entirely cured. I'm now getting more convinced that the leads are in fact the problem, but that new plugs make better sparks than used ones, so the effect is masked somewhat.

will find out in due course, when magnecor and the lot I've ordered 'em from get their respective acts together.

Austin Hi,

may I also suggest you replace the distributor cap?

Here in Greece it is a very common problem for distributor caps to have cracked. Most of the time they can not be checked by just looking at them. Genuine LR caps have proved to be more sturdy.

The one that's on it is not very old and appears to be sound. I did think of swapping it, but the spare one, on cleaning and examining, is cracked. But I guess it'd not hurt to change it when the leads turn up.
