1986 110 2.5nad.
Front prop has knacked UJ's and also knacked splines so it's time to replace the whole thing rather than just replace the UJ's.
Looking at on line prices from the usual suspects brings up two part numbers FRC 5566 which is cheaper than FRC 8390 .
Island 4x4 seem to say in the description that they are the same but one has bigger UJ's hence more expensive.
Both are britpart (boooo!) But both are said to be also Hardy Spicer (Yay! ...Or at least used to be Yay! When I were a lad!)
I've got a fair bit of britpart stuff on my tratter and it's lasted quite well tbh but I've never brought a complete prop before, just fitted new ujs which were GKN from my local Indy.
Other descriptions of FRC 8390 show it for vin CA onwards or, confusingly, fits all up to 1993 I thing it said. My VIN is BA.
Anybody any experience of these Britpart/ hardy Spicer props?
