However as observed by others you probably want to replace the diff output shafts with later ones wth the later PCD at least if its not already been done as they are a weak point.

Doesn't really matter but I thought the early donut PCD was larger than the later???

I'd try these guys in the states, http://www.chequeredflagracing.net/LOTU ... S_A229.php

He makes some lovely parts, I've bought alloy flywheel from him and plan on a set of his CV's and claims to be the supplier to Rd and Dave Bean from memory. the replace the dif output shaft which I like as it allows for the longest shaft, less parts and replaces typically twisted output shafts

Cheers

My Feb 72' Sprint didn't have the safety pegs fitted and seemed original, when replaced with the Sue Miller shafts FWIW.
