Drive Shaft Fell off, Bust Flange!

Post by Bumble the Rumble »

Hi Guys,

First post after just looking through the forum for the past 2 years (since the van).

I was reading a post with a similar situation a couple of threads down except one big difference was that my bolts did shear off and the flange between the CV joint and the g/box has been ruined beyond retapering. Now this wouldn't be such an issue except i cannot manage to source the part any where and its not on any of the usual sites that i have found so far.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks
JM

I think (although could be wrong) that the standard ones are not available new.

However, brickworks do the larger version for the syncro which would work if you also bought larger cv joint to suit.

Cost might make your eyes water a bit though, but might be a back up plan if you can't get a good second hand one.
