Re: Layrub propshaft couplings for GS

As luck had it I had a couple of "new" ones in stock last time I rebuilt GS67 about 6 years ago. even on "new" old stock you have to watch out for the rubber perishing, it has a life of about 20 years.

The layrub couplings are the same sort of design as used on cars, but these are much heavier duty. I need a few new ones for RF fan shafts.

Comparing price, they are probably cheaper than the Hardy Spicer couplings used on Routemasters.

My bus number (if any): RML2532
