New Product, Specialty tool Options

[ChrisFoley]

I was tired of the axle shafts hanging down on a car with the engine removed a long time ago.
I've used bungees, coat hangers, tie downs, etc. to hold them up out of the way while crawling about under the car.
Its even worse when you have to move the car and the halfshafts bang around, sometimes jamming a CV joint.
Some time ago I came up with the idea of using a 2 ft. piece of cardboard tube over the inner CVs to keep them together but the tube rolls off to one side quickly and one axle falls out.
Its only a minor irritation but with the number of cars we have at the shop which are engine-less, often needing to be pushed around from one area to another, I wanted a better solution.
So here it is:



The bracket bolts to the rear trans mounts, and the flange/tube assembly acts like an open diff. The flanges will have bolt holes for 3 different CV sizes often used on 914s.

That's pretty cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Make sure you include a big note in the package "NOT FOR TOWING USE". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

LOL, Ed already brought that up. No need for a teener being towed to end up on WreckedExotics.com

doesn't look like the right side will rotate... how does the car roll?

The assembly comprises three independent sleeves. It works perfectly.
I wish I had thought of this a long time ago. We already have 2 prototypes in use and a third nearly ready for service.
Now I just have to figure out a way to make them cheap enough that a few of you guys will buy them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Cool... And it's yellow. Will it make engine-less teeners go faster???

I was planning to go with orange for production but since we are now doing our own powdercoating in-house I have options. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
