The trunnion end is badly corroded, but being from a lwb car the shaft could easily be shortened for use in a swb. The block on the end which houses the pin would have to be rebuilt though. I can imagine several ways one might go about this but have doubts about strength / durability. Does anyone have practical experience of 're-making' the lump on the tail end of the propshaft?
There must be a few tailshafts about - why try ? Given the drive loads I would think the
pot joint would be very difficult to repair well.
