front driveshafts

[incisor]

what is the best way to go these days when it comes to replacing the front tailshaft on a series?

better to get a one from one of the drive shaft mobs or go with one from the land rover parts guys?

hearing so much about crap drive shafts these days...

I bought a pair of Bearmach ones from a local mob, but they haven't been installed yet so no feedback there.
As far as I have noticed, tailshaft problems are experienced by people putting aftermarket parts on modified cars, not stock standard. But then Madge is lifted over civvy factory standard...

But then Madge is lifted over civvy factory standard...

not really, only a little because she rides on parabolics...

series 2's didn't have the extended shackles and cut guards etc, only the 2a from what i have seen.

will try and price up a bearmach...

interestingly , I have the front drive shaft out of my 2a at the moment and I dropped it on the garage floor coincidently next to the buggered front prop shaft from my d1, I haven't picked them up to check bolt spacing, but they appear to be exactly the same in length and diameters.
I will look closer at them in the morning and see if they really are the same.
