When our late GT6+ had the output  shaft fail in the spline area for  the 
propshaft flange, I discovered that the GT6 MK3 shaft and tail hsg were  
stronger, and I believe that the rear Brg is larger.  Good luck finding  these 
pieces.  I do have the MK3 parts books.

Well, my  "woohoo" was premature.B  We broke a tailshaft housing on the  GT6
gearbox in our Spitfire.B  This happened last year as well.B   In the past, 
I
remember tracing this to the nut on the output shaft working  loose, but I'm
pretty sure that isn't the case here.B  I will get the  driveshaft 
rebalanced
when I replace the housing.B  Has anyone else  had this problem and can you
recommend a permanent fix?B  Has anyone  tried to strengthen these housings 
or
add an intermediate mount  or??
