I have a prop shaft donut on my Sierra Cos 4x4 that doesn't look good.. Does anybody know where to get a new one, or does anybody here have?

I've heard they are using the donut from Transit. Anybody tried that?

I was trying to buy the donut from Ford years ago. Had to buy the whole prop shafty too.. They told me they didn't just sell the donut.
A friend of mine is working at Ford in Norway, and he checked, and in Sweden they had one loose, but he didn't know what type of the two it was because there were no picture of it..

Im pretty sure Fords have stopped selling the Sierra doughnut - they might still sell the Escort version.

Hmm.. Does anybody know when they changed the donut?? A know an Escort with the similar donut as I have on my Sierra..

Is this a 4x4 item? None of my cosworth propshafts have them.

My XR4Ti stock propshaft had one but it's long gone since I switch the saff suspension/T5 etc.

Here is the one I have and need to replace:



And here is the other type that is thinner, and has a bigger center-hole:

All you need is the small front piece from a later style prop to use the smaller donut. I've done the conversion on my car and it works 100%

carl/saff

Would he not have to change the 3 bolts aswell







The way i did it ,hope this helps . changed to a late spec saff gearbox . my saff is a g plater box was out of a k plater

I'm i was fitting an escort box, so never paid attention to the bolts lol. I just matched the small section of prop to the box

cosworth racing

You mean the three "arms"? Change that one to a later style?

carl/saff

Yeh you will need a late saff or esc cos front end of the rear prop to use the esc cos box .it has a hole in the center which will slide over the output shaft .

How many times have we had this conversation Carl lol....

carl/saff

As above, easy to tell the difference, the earlier one is almost like a hexagonal shape, and the newer one on late saphs and escos is round. I bought the later type from Ford about a year ago for £70.

Call that man

the early type of large doughnut did not come as a single part from Ford, you had to buy a complete prop shaft at around £300 I know I bought one

I have spoken to him, and he had, and is supposed to send one to me. Since that I haven't got any answers from him..
I need to have one, and can't wait for ages

Paul is a good guy with loads of spares, call him and say you need it desperately I'm sure he'd sort you out


Luciano

cosworth racing

Yes, but I'm also sure that if he's interested in selling he would answer PM's! But no..
So anyway, anybody know someone who's got one for me? :=)

I've had an adapter made up to use the later EsCos donut with the earlier propshaft.

The CNC machine settings have been saved so I can get more if needed. Just got to fit it and check all is well.

Nice Mod

fits fine and works well
