Torque Tube mount
Not real familiar with this, just assisted my son to rebuild a TF Gem motor, double timing chain, 1600 out to 1800 (84mm), worked head, pacemaker extractors, 36 somthin or other Weber and a 4 speed manual, shudders somethibng fierce on takeoff, told its the Torque Tube mount and you can't get them new, have seen mention of them as being obtainable in these forums, anyone have a part number and a definite/ maybe where one might obtain one, I am in Toowoomba, Qld.

G'day. There is a company called Qld Rollers and Liners at Rocklea that remake the rubbers. Take the torque tube and the mount off the car to them and they will do it in a few days for about $140.00.
I have one in Rally Gem and it is just fine. Took me 18 months of rallying to wear the first one out. The newest one is bigger and looks stronger.
Try them

Re: Strengthened torque tube - pics
hey mate bought my self a tg gem need some torque tube repairs i know what you mean by vibration, i have asked around but no one can do it... can you help me in the direction...????
I believe it is a chromoly (sp?) pipe welded over the original torque tube.TDgemoz wrote:sorry for digging up old threads but i was wondering what the torque tube was made out of... like was it solid round bar?? or a bit of pipe welded over the top of the original torque tube?? and what is the outside diameter? because im interested in doin this
cheers dan
I am not sure the diameter. Sorry.
I am not the guy that did the fabrication.
Regards,
Matthew

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH.
I can't stand it any longer.
A torque tube is the TUBE inside which the DRIVESHAFT/TAILSHAFT rotates.
There are three separate different threads of discussion going on here.
1. The rubber mount at the front of the TORQUE TUBE. Couple of different ones depending on model and/or petrol/diesel. Rebuildable!
2. The strengthened DRIVE SHAFT. Machining and welding. Others have described the steps for this.
3. The TORQUE TUBE. Steel or alloy depending on model and/or petrol/diesel. The torque tube will not bounce/vibrate/rattle if you fix the rubber mount.
The drive shaft transfers the drive. The torque tube, the third link, is an integral part of the suspension on the Geminis.
If one builds a ladder type rear end you still have a drive shaft but not the torque tube.
Think before you post so the confusion does not reign supreme.
Thankyou...
Deep breath.
