All you'll need to do is change the flange on your driveshaft. U-joints
are the same regardless, so you need a flange from a 1971 or later
Spitfire driveshaft OR axle shaft (same piece). I'll bet someone on the
list has one lying about (I'd offer, but I don't happen to have one right
now). As I recall, a flange from most any GT6 driveshaft or axle shaft
would also work.
