I've hit a problem, I think, Getting ready to swap over to Pinto and Mt75 box, but I have a live axle. The flange on the rear of the gearbox has one of those doughnuts, I now need to find some way of allowing a bit of in and out movement as the axle rises and falls. Or, do I ??

Can you use a sliding section on the prop?

D&F do an adapter to go from the tripod to a standard joint allowing for a standard sliding prop.

My Sierra type 9 had a doughnut behind the box but when I got my prop back from Bailey Morris it had a sliding joint and uj fitted.

many thanks for the pointers. A guy on another site suggested looking at a Land Rover Discovery rear prop. This I did and find that its near enough exactly what I'm looking for, very reasonable price too.

Just an update. I have now taken a Land Rover Discovery rear prop and shortened it to fit. The front flange/rotoflex coupling fits the same as MT75 and the rear has a sliding joint. The holes picked up with the diff flange and I now have a sliding joint with 50mm of movement. So I'm very happy. All for the price of £14.00. Land Rover parts seem very cheap compared to others. I have the master cylinders from them also, cheap as chips

Any photos? Looking for something for my mk2 escort

Snap, landrover prop and landrover 90 master cylinder here as well

Have not worked out how to post piccies yet. Will try harder later today, once the rain washes out my plans
