Dave Dye (Austin in the shed) made me up one of these a few years back - very good it is too.

David Cochrane has the chassis bracket and the spring drive belt for these I believe. The propshaft pulley is wooden and made in 2 halves nailed together

The prop pulley should be alum,bolted together with 1ba screws.
The drive head was mazak and usually either worn or broken off .

I believe this is the cable you need

P.S ebay also found this

I can't believe the price especially as it doesn't include postage - perhaps that's because the seller needs to hire security guards to accompany him to the post office! lol
