That’s going to take some pretty imaginative engineering to return to serviceable condition!

A new Hardy Spicer prop shaft might be more practical than repairing the old?

Maybe I just read the wrong books but there seems so little written about these joints and their repair/ maintenance.
Or is there simply nothing to write?

There was a lot of known about these in the 1960s / 1970s and part swapping for better pins blocks and housings was usual.
I even found a pair of good blocks and a pin in a charity shop !!!  They were in a box of Meccano bits.

The pins and blocks are available, of course: https://www.theaustinsevenworkshop.com/p...and-blocks - but you'll need to source a serviceable housing

A very common sight for those who use their cars, a by-product of enjoying them.

Keep on driving Henry!
