Hello folks
Wondered if anyone could help please?
I'm refurbishing both propshafts of my 1982 series 3 swb diesel.

The front propshaft UJs appear to have a slightly larger body, but with smaller cups on the ends (housing needle bearings and grease) than the rear propshaft which has slightly smaller but fatter UJs and longer cups.

Paddock Spares seem to think one of the propshafts had been replaced at one time or another and I should probably order 2off 'early small type' and 2off 'later large type' to be on safe side.

Thought I'd check with the experts before placing an order however!
Many thanks
Jim
