The part number 6518778 is still available from the local dealer at £88 + VAT or thereabouts and that is the same PN as the Cosworth 4x4.
Also, Femi Bilstein 05854 is listed for my car and costs £48 + delivery so if the Ford part is common to XR and Cosworth, so should this one.
Bad news chaps. The replacement donut arrived today (good service from Mister Auto) but it is very much thinner, so I guess this is an EsCos style item.
Here are the pics - the original is 47mm thick, the replacement is only 30mm. And no central bearing included.
The nose on the front section of the propshaft sticks all the way through, so there is nowhere for the gearbox end to also engage in the bearing - if I can get it out and swapped over.
Would it work if I just cut the nose back a bit?
