prop to diff flanges

[GT6 M]

Can any one say for certain if the yokes of a Herald  will fit
the outer yokes on a Late Spitty

reasone, the flanges on a Herald / early Spitty are smaller.
both size and bolt wols.
and need to fit some flanges of a later Spitty to the prop / drive shafts,

so they can mate up to a Late diff.

So, basicly, outer yokes {  the outer bit  that mates to diff / drive shaft } onto innner yokes  { bit attached to prop / drive shaft  inner bit } on a Herald / early Spitty

Marcus, delighted to help after all the good advice you have given me. The yokes are the same size. UJ's are the same size. Only the flange (and nuts and bolts) are bigger on the later cars. I've got a 3.89 diff with the larger flange and it fitted fine on my mk3 Spit which originally used the small flange propshaft. I used genuine Volvo UJs although I believe Freelander UJs are as good.

Hi Marcus . Rallyspit is correct . All yokes take the same UJs so you can swap Herald yokes for Spitfire Yokes, or Vitesse or GT6 ... to get the configuration that you  need. I have a 1500 spitfire gearbox and overdrive mated to a 13/60 diff and driveshafts., via a modified propshaft. Spitfire yoke at the gearbox, Herald yoke at the diff. Cheers , Dave.

One note to add - you can swap the flanges because the yokes are the same, but you can also fit the later Herald / early Spitfire small flange stub shafts into a late Spitfire diff, to go the other way. That's what Toby had (briefly) having inherited it from Henrietta Herald (1500 in a 13/60) before the years dumped at the back of a wet barn took their toll and required a recon diff. The early Herald diffs had smaller shafts, though.
