Hi Winston, Have just rebuilt a 1928 Austin 7 (magneto engine) found unused for many years. When I saw the delaminated fabric coupling I was reminded of my father struggling to make a vibration free coupling for our 1927 Oldsmobile. As I did not want to repeat history with the Austin I fitted one of David's Hardy-Spicer propshafts as a replacement. It provides smooth and reliable service.
I believe that oil contamination may be the cause of fabric coupling failure on some cars.
Russell.
