Thanks Robert!

The need to replace uni joints is not a problem. I would be replacing them anyway. Don't think i'll get a better offer any closer for that piece, so I will take your offer. Will send you a PM this evening.

I don't know with any certainty, if the front flange can be made same as brake drum flange. Would want to be sure before ruining a good piece you may find you could use later.

I had a spare flange from rear of gearbox and tried it for suitability, with poor results. Although the spline was identical, the overall thickness of the shaft OD was bigger than the seal opening it would slide into. Also, the taper behind the 4 bolt holes was thicker, and the brake drum wouldn't sit flush. The images I have looked at in the manuals don't show any form of spacer between brake drum and flange, so I guess that part is no good.

Let me look at my front drive flange, to see if I can get confirmation that it will fit. Can't justify buggering you r part needlessly!
