QH DRIVESHAFT COUPLINGS
Hi,
as it is nearly impossible to get a good pair of QL5000
I am considering to get the repros from MS.
Does anyone have experience with these?

Original QH5000's are brilliant, but very hard to find now. I have never used the MS alternative so can't comment on them.

I agree. A pair severely damaged after Minis to Monte. The little needle rollers were shattered.SMOKE GREY wrote:wolseley 1000 wrote:Hi,

Re: QH DRIVESHAFT COUPLINGS
just don't buy the ones with grease nipple holes in them. My MS ones have been fine after much assurance from Richie and Keith Calver and about 5 hours LSD race time

I found a NOS set of QH 5000 a few month ago. I just used it on my 1071 rebuild, so it can be done....
