Please can anyone let me know what the driveshaft UJ's are from for a 428 Frua and potential availability.
Cheers, Luke

This forum seems really quiet so I'd be figuring it out myself rather than waiting for an answer.  It'll be a standard size and there were quite limited choices available back in the day - just measure up the cup and assembled diameter and compare with the obvious candidates (e type etc).

Regards Andy

For repair kits I would try Brian Eacott (for contact details see his ACtion advert).  For identification, as Andy says, you need the cup OD and the distance between faces of opposite cups. I guess they were the largest of the standard range of Hardy Spicer UJ's.
