<font size=3>I just remembered, I think it was also the early Land
Rovers, like Series 1 through Series 3 that had an MGA compatible
propshaft with beefier knuckles.<br><br>

Some people used to pick up th Datsn propshafts from a wrecking yard to
use in their race cars with uprated ngines. Sorry I don't recal
what model.<br><br>

The factory V8 had a 'beefier' propshaft, with bigger gearbox and axle
drive flanges and UJs, same as the MGC. But as this is almost
certainly a conversion it depends on whether the converter fitted the
bigger shaft or kept the original. My 4-cylinder drive flange is 3
3/8" and the V8 3 7/8", with UJ bearing cups 15/16" and
1", so this looks like a 4-cylinder shaft. Maybe time to beef
it up if usage has wrecked the flange.<br>

<dd>Parts is parts. that is something you'd should be able to find a
crossover or maybe upgrade to a beefier u-joint for. </blockquote>

<dd>I am looking for a driveshaft flange for my 1980 MGB. Moss has them
on backorder (268-010) and doesn’t know when they will have them in
stock. The unit I am looking for is 3 - 9/16 inches in width and has a 3
inch o/c bolt pattern. The u-joint opening appears to be 15/16 but this
could be off a fraction or two because it is pretty beat-up.
