Dennis, I think I have one off my =E2=80=9968 race car, but I have no =
idea as to the originality.  I think pinion flanges on the diff vary =
somewhat with the gear ratio, too.  If you can tell me the flange =
dimensions for both ends I=E2=80=99ll take a look.  This one came out =
when I switched to a TR6 transmission.

Also, any good driveshaft shop can easily make one up, to whatever specs =
you want.  Should not be expensive.  I don=E2=80=99t know these to be a =
point of failure though, so my guess is with new u joints a stock one =
should be fine.  The items on either end of the shaft, however, are =
certainly over-stressed and fail with some degree of frequency, =
particularly a stock GT6 transmission (and don=E2=80=99t let anyone tell =
you their upgraded rebuild will prevent that!).

Does anyone know of one for sale?

Also, are there any heavy duty upgrades or conversions available?

I have had a Ford T9 transmission conversion on order with Moss since =
August and there is no indication if it will ever ship.=20

Thanks in advance
