Do you need
a picture of something else.
Axles are still in the car, so kinda hard to get
a good photo.
The spicer 5-178X (1350 series) you mention is slightly larger
with a 1.188 cap.
Mine use spicer 1310 series u-joints with a 1.062 cap and
3.219 overall length.
Thanks,
Tim

Help identifying Spitfire comp rear axle
Your description does not help me
much, I need a photo. I built forged one
piece axles in the early 1970's
that were one piece with the hub and the axle
all one forged part made of
very expensive vascojet 8000 special steel. Mueler
was given the specs and
forging dies to carry on that work when I left Triumph.
We used a Forklift
U-joint for the mating parts and it was very very good and
strong. This
number may be the one, but it also may be for the engine dyno
cardian shaft
(which was lot bigger). I only have this Spicer part number so
cannot tell.
Anyway a clue is the forlift info. If all else fails look there.
My spicer
number is 5-178X .That is for a U-joint kit.
Never be beaten by equipment
