Is one of those also used as the adapter flange for the new shaft?

Not sure what you mean by 'without a mating flange'?

Not back at stage 1, if he can't do it I will get someone else too. I only went with him because of his work with land stuff, gee if noel can make them, then pretty sure any axle manufacturer can. No offense noel

Is the second flange on the LT230 end a modified Isuzu flange or one made to match the new shaft?

Second flange bolts face to face on the isuzu gearbox flange. In this case to make it 28spline (mxa) you bolt the the mxa flange to the msa flange on the msa gearbox

Here was I thinking it was a new flange!

Is there a difference between the MXA and MSA flanges?

(Still trying to decide which box to get.)

The MXA is a better spline which bolts to the MSA with the sex change on the MXA
The whole idea is a stock flange which will bolt to either box with some simple machine work The shaft will be the same for either box but the adaptor case needs some bearing bore enlarging for the mxa All these xs and ss are confusing

Are you sending Barry a MXA flange?

I'm happy to order a new one and have it delivered to his factory.

If the shafts come off he can send it on to me with my shafts. (had to do similar with some ENV side gears when they made up some special half-shafts for my SIIB forward control)
