Haven't got the dimensions but it looks a bit different to the original picture which the poster said wasn't the right one anyway.
The CF van was going to be marketed as the 'Blitz' in Germany !





Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

this week the bedford items arrived

spline diameter ok
height ok
thread ok
taper too big (~17mm)

today i visited my mate....but havent seen your posting until now, otherwise i could have taken a pic

we tried also all different kind of opel´s and we always come back to the same problem, as with the vauxhall items....spline too small

enlarging the taper could be done in a future stage, even we dont prefer it, as there is not so much material left.

meanwhile we fitted the old ones (there was no mechanical wear)....we cleaned them, new grease, new dust-caps...and maybe time will bring the correct ones.

changing the taper on the car is not a solution for us.
