    Your replacement is likely a series 2/early 2a one. If the bonnet has hinges held by 4 bolts this confirms. later bonnets have 3 hinge bolts.

    I know from doing a similar job some years ago that it likely will be possible but will be a mix and match of parts and you better keep a note of what was done for later repairs. As above contact Mike at Brittanica.

    Find a pic of a new shaft and orientate journals as per pic. You will have a 50/50 chance of getting it right or be 180 degrees out. Frankly as most of the weight is in the main section it may well be good either way.

    I’ve never worried about which way round the yokes get put back on. As long as you haven’t pulled the sliding halves apart they will still be phased correctly. Happy to be corrected! 😀

    Only fit GKN. Did this job yesterday, aside from the new outer shafts being Britpart, and thus needing a few seconds on the grinder to make the yokes the right shape. No problems.
