[Mgs] Driveshaft flange

[Steve Shoyer]

I saw the Moss part 268-010 cross referenced to 7H3863 on a couple of websites. If that's correct, there's one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324461346370  I couldn't tell from the photos of this is the beefier version or not, but a NOS part might be better than an aftermarket one.
