Couldn’t agree more. 1. I have a number of used later type (rubber coupling) in stock. 2. I regularly uses an engineering shop to make parts for me who will easily be able to achieve OEM quality. Cost - we’ll see but I just feel that £144 + carriage is excessive for a simple part that they may...

Yes many thanks I'm well aware of this one at Craddocks. I actually did think £144 for a 355 mm shaft (no UJ's included) was a bit strong! The context is that the even more rare equivalent shaft for the manual steering early RRC (575728) at Peter Blanchard's is £21.95 (and they actually do have...

Yes having one made is the last resort or possibly cutting and shutting two of the later ones that are more readily available. A used one that is the correct part is obviously cheaper and easier but as you say machining or modifying the later one is a final option. I always think that with this...

Sadly the later one with the rubber coupling is not suitable or adaptable. The problem is that it is not generally a part that wears out so there has not been any demand for it from stripped vehicles. The wearing parts are the UJ's which are readily available and easily changed. Worn or rusty...

Nothing has appeared on eBay and so far nothing from breakers. Since this shaft was only fitted to the very early vehicles (most of which will have either been scrapped or fully restored) it is proving difficult.

I am trying to source a used lower steering shaft (592779) as used on the early RRC (1969 onwards PAS models). This was a straight shaft of 355mm long with a spline each end and NO rubber coupling - just a UJ each end. Any ideas Thanks Tallbloke
