Do let us all know if you try this and what the outcome is.

I wonder if the likes of Powerflex could be persuaded to make a new part if they though there would be a market for them?

There is also a type of CV joint that can be used but I forget the name of them.
I will let all know if it works. I am wondering why the later model sierras and escort cosworths had NO centre support/bearing at all in their couplings, Maybe Ford realized that it's not necessary...? Ford produced the centre bearing type for 1-2 years only as far as i know, later did not, so i assume it cannot be that important.
