Be aware that there were/are dud new fabric couplings out there. Talk to your supplier.
New adapter flange from club spares should not have required adjustment of your components, again talk to your supplier. If it's wrong manufacture they need to know, if your components are not from the year models you described , you need to know.

The hollow diameter of an A7 prop-shaft is just an exact nice push fit onto the front stub of the prop-shaft of a Morris Minor.
Just need to cut round in front of the weld of MM front end and left with U/J with stub sticking out backwards. Stub is a nice push fit in A7 hollow.
We won't mention the reason for wanting shorter prop-shaft and MM U/J with gearbox splined end.

Its an A series in a Nippy I suspect. I remember one at Longbridge in 1982 it had padlocks on the bonnet !!
RE: Propshaft - Zetomagneto - 17-02-2021
You are correct dickie, will be quite a short propshaft knowing how long the tailhousing is on an A series Gbox.
RE: Propshaft - Dennis Nicholas - 18-02-2021
Not an A exactly. Not an A box.....begins with a T.
The A box to 7 prop was for when it had the A engine and box......wasn't too short a prop. Next stage needs bit shorter prop.....yet to measure.
