Baz.

Did they cut the ends off Baz? The standard shafts are 1300 unis, the 1310 sized uni joints wont fit into the standard yolks.

Tom Woods uses the 1310 shaft which any tail shaft co can fit over here for much less..

Tom will make them with 1330 or 1350 uni joints also if you want. The 1350 will probably break the transfer case first based on what I've been reading based on their use in V8 rockcrawlers that use the LT230 transfer case and non-rover axles. It is a heavy joint.

My experiences are that the additional cost for shipping extra shafts from Tom is nowhere near as expensive as 1 shaft.

Kevin at JRT in Bentley did mine as part of a total auto trans rebuild plus a few other things too, viscous fan, waterpump and so on.

I got an exchange from rovertech that was fixed by engineering shop DSA (Cannington I think). They bore out the holes to fit a uni with bigger roller bearings. From memory about $350.

I just bought 2 x Hardie Spicer unis as the dif end of my shaft is already gresable from the local bearing guy. he looked them up in his book with a 1310 as the standard fit.

I'll let you know how they fit.
