Thanks for that suggestion too Rob, I have been driving Land Rovers and Range Rovers for the past 20+ years and have a few steering shaft bits from them, I initially thought they would be a perfect fit but the space available in the mill is pretty tight and the Rangie UJs are too big. I guess it would not hurt to go down to the motor wreckers and have a browse for some smaller unis, might just do that this week. If I could pick up some proper roller-bearing UJs in a suitable size would be great, the available space limits the OD to about 1 3/4 " if memory serves so might be a challenge to find.
