Steve, You don't perhaps have the dimensions do you ? We managed to measure mine in situ on Sunday and got measurements of Cap size - 27 mm Cap Span - 70 mm Which gave us the HS 168 number quoted by GKN. If it is however different then I'll go back to the GKN lists and check again. I'll be back ! in the words of one far more muscly (sp) than I !

Thanx for the miriad of replies gents :-) Seriously though I have found out that it is possible to remove the offending Prop shaft to replace the UJ's by undoing the front diff mounting and manouevering the prop shaft over the top of the diff to allow enough space to fet the spline output shaft out of the back of the gearbox. Further information ..... Part numbers GKN - HS 160 (thanks to Steve Parker) Moprod - UJ102 Quinton Hazel - QL16103 Quinton Hazel now own Moprod anyway.... A large difference between the QH and Moprod UJ's and the GKN ones is that the latter is the only one that comes with grease nipples to allow maintainence lubrication. The others do not, they are sealed units (?). Price difference is about a £5. I've gone for the GKN ones.. Cheers Mark
