    Depends whether your english axle has the early type "small flange" or the later (i.e. mk2) big flange... They are very obviously different - completely different size. If its the large flange, then 9 times out of 10 they swap straight over, no mods needed. Same PCD and bolt pattern etc.

    Hope that helps.

    Christ I'm getting Old. I keep thinking you've got this the wrong way round. This week, with the heat I've been saying exactly the opposite.

    LMFAO Only just noticed this...

    If youre still suffering, I am happy to take the problem off your hands until the weather cools down a bit heat doesn't bother me

    Anyway, back to the script...

    Sparx - sorry dude it just looks like yours is one of those flanges which won't fit... You win some, you lose some - and you need to get your prop to a propshaft place and have an Atlas-type yoke fitted... That one simply won't fit. Sorry! You could make up a spacer... But new props aren't that expensive.

    Temperatures dropped enough now. Thanks for the offer. Next time it heats up I'll send her up to you. Trouble is My local post office hasn't got enough brown paper , bubble wrap and tape to wrap her up.

    P.S. what does LMFAO stand for and I've spent ages trying to work out what lol means.
