Many thanks for the link.
It may be the same firm but it was not located back then on an industrial estate.
I will make a note of the company and put it on file for future consideration.

Re Half shafts when I worked FVRDE (fIghting vehicle research establishment) they had trouble with L/Rover 1/2 shafts breaking so we took new ones and scribed a line along their length,after afew miles on and off road they were removed and it was suprising how much they had twisted different materials were tried.

Amazing to see a NOS half shaft but that is expensive!! At that price might as well get a pair of ESM competition EN24 half shafts.....

Just trying their luck, I guess. Remember the old adage - "There's a sucker born every minute" - and I think it was WC Fields who said "Never give a sucker an even break!" :-?
