shaft-repair
Parts like that are not necessarily unique to MG or British. Decades ago I t=
ook a Triumph shaft to a shop and he said look, I can just make you a new on=
e for what was a reasonable price back then. (Ok, so I just contradicted mys=
elf)

 The unit I am looking for is 3 - 9/16 inches in width and has a 3 inch o/c b=

You could try the MG Experience forum, and put a Wanted add in the =
Buy/Sell/Trade forum. A lot of cars get parted out there.

Well, yeah, but then you just confuse the next owner. How will he know =
where to source his u-joint?

At least, that=E2=80=99s my response to a lot of ad hoc =E2=80=9Cupgrades=E2=
=80=9D =E2=80=94 it may be convenient for you, at this time, but it is =
not serving to "preserve the breed" (hifalutin phrase), and it may even =
be making you a dreaded PO.

It should be simple enough to find the bona fide article, and no =
modifications or technical expertise required.

The factory V8 had a 'beefier' propshaft, with bigger gearbox and axle =
drive flanges and UJs, same as the MGC.  But as this is almost certainly =
a conversion it depends on whether the converter fitted the bigger shaft =
or kept the original.  My 4-cylinder drive flange is 3 3/8" and the V8 3 =
7/8", with UJ bearing cups 15/16" and 1", so this looks like a =
4-cylinder shaft.  Maybe time to beef it up if usage has wrecked the =
flange.

cross referenced to 7H3863 on a couple of websites. If that's correct,
there's one on eBay:

photos of this is the beefier version or not, but a NOS part might be
better than an aftermarket one. <br>

<dd>The factory V8 had a 'beefier' propshaft, with bigger gearbox and
axle drive flanges and UJs, same as the MGC.&nbsp; But as this is almost
certainly a conversion it depends on whether the converter fitted the
bigger shaft or kept the original.&nbsp; My 4-cylinder drive flange is 3
3/8&quot; and the V8 3 7/8&quot;, with UJ bearing cups 15/16&quot; and
1&quot;, so this looks like a 4-cylinder shaft.&nbsp; Maybe time to beef
it up if usage has wrecked the flange.<br>
