It's not worth me trying to ship a driveline (propeller shaft) across the pond. If you get the whole thing (both sections) there is some chance it may be balanced. You can also take your existing driveline to the local driveline shop and for about $90 (on this side of the pond anyway) you can get it cut down and balanced. You can also use the driveline out of an automatic. It's 5/8" shorted that the M41 drive lines so it just rides a bit further out on the spines. I have sold quite a few automatic drivelines to folks putting M41's in 122's...

I have a few working temp gauges around as well.... Drop me a note off list if interested.

Sold one of my OD props to Mr. Barker a few months ago.

The other one that's definitely a OD prop I'm keeping.

I have an auto prop if that's of any use..................

As far as I know, haven't looked at the parts list, the rear section is the same as a non OD shaft. It's only the front section that's shorter for the OD. A good prop shop can shorten an original front part if you give them the new length.
Jon, you might like to check your auto front section with the OD one you have. I think you might find they are the same.
Is the Jonazon back on the road now? Time to update your Project pics.........

It is. In fact it's sat in the garage below me as I type this.

It's been on a couple of mad NSJC runs, and is now running an SDP Simonz exhaust. I also got the steels powdercoated and a new set of tyres on, finally.
Driving on the 37 year old Goodyears just wasn't very clever really. The man on the other end of the phone was somewhat horrified when he worked out the build code.

It's done its track rod in on the NS and the OS wheelbearing went pop a couple of months ago. I got my 123GT revcounter (sort of) working and have replaced a load of minor engine components to try and cure its hyperactive idle which was traced to pish plug leads and a knackered condensor.

I also broke a 122S in Aberystwyth for spares and got some excellent interior goodies, such as a full carpet set (being cleaned), some grab handles, an interior shelf to combine with Paul H's, a better steering wheel and some other odds & sods.

It also lives in Wales now at my gran's, because she can't be humped driving any more and she has a twin car garage......and doesn't want rent.

My props are stored in a run down garage elsewhere with my Marie Celeste, so I will get them out and compare. The other non OD ones I'm probably going to hoy because of storage space.

SEEMS LIKE THE LONG SECTION MAY BE THE SAME AS THE O/D PROP. DOES IT HAVE GOOD UJs AND THE SPLINED PART ATTACHED?
