UJ Size

Post by Matt »

Hi Guys

Fitting a type 9 end to a propshaft, but unfortunately it uses the wrong size UJ :(

Can anyone tell me the dia. of the hole the cap fits into?

Thanks

is it the size of the hole in the yoke that you need
I could get a measurement off mine tomorrow if you want. I think mine was the same size as the minor

Ahh sorry I havent been very clear... my type 9 yoke has much smaller holes than a minor one so the UJ wont go in, I want to open up the hole so the UJ will fit... To do that I need to know the dia. of the hole the UJ "cap" fits into on a standard minor...

I havent got anything accurate enough to measure more than "about xxx mm"

if the machining isn't spot on, the propshaft will run out! Also the circlips on a Minor UJ will keep the assembly concentric so they are just as important.

That's about 15/16" + 1.5 thou.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

The Minor UJ is known as an 1140 series UJ. You can buy new a Ford Type 9 sleeve yoke (or diff flange) that takes an 1140 UJ, ie one that will go straight onto the Minor UJ.

I would not even think about maching it. Contact a propshaft place and get the bits to do the job properly.

Dunning and Fairbank sell the bits and will mail them to you.
