Yes.. I was quoted 160 pounds for 3 day post to NZ. That's what I will be doing.

Hoping to find an early model prop before I get to that stage.

Cheers for the tip Ray, I may very well be able to lay my hands on an early Transit propshaft
Ronnie,

You can get the right end from a transit, capri, very early sierra or a cortina.

I made my prop as I only trust my own welding

Thanks for that

I knew the early Sierra had the right joint but did not know about the other possibilitys

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled, unless I steal the one from my 1987 transit & stick the donut on that
