I suggest you try Bailey Morris. I have not used them but have spoken with Clive Cox where they had a stand at an old car show. Clive seems very knowledgable and helpful. I intend to use Bailey Morris when I get round to my 5 speed installation.

Measured up my spare 5 speed prop shaft and attached a few photos for reference.
Shaft Overall length between the UJ centres
sliding spline fully compressed = 972 mm / 38.3 inches
fully extended = 1016 mm / 40.0 inches
splined section travel = 44mm / 1.73 inches
'
End flanged section length from centre of UJ = 30mm / 1.18 inches
Flange bolt pitch circle = 2.75 inch ( this is a non metric dimension)
(you may want to check your diff flange as I think early Elans at least used a smaller pitch circle).
flange bolt hole = 5/16 inch ( this is a non metric hole!)
same for front and rear flanges
I did not pull out the UJ,s but they appear to be the same as on the 4 speed prop shaft

What`s going on here.?
Is It Me ?
Why does there seem to be a 5 year difference between the early and recent posts ?
