Erich,
I'm having very similar issues. The first UJs bought were the wrong length so they were returned and a refund given (perfectly happy with the response I got). I've now bought replacements, along with a couple of spares, from an on line Morris 8 spares supplier (having first checked the measurements and the part number) but they are very poor quality indeed. Not only are the caps 5 thou undersize but the length varies by about 20 thou between them all. I'm now waiting for another set from a third supplier.
The whole reason for replacing mine was to get a propshaft which I knew to be sound before balancing and re-fitting. Not as easy as I thought!
My local machine shop weren't keen on rebuilding it as the circlips were broken and rusted in place - they did suggest making a new shaft which with hindsight might have been a better option. Has anyone gone down this route I wonder?
Peter.
