Default MT75 4x4 gearbox dohnut prop section

Hi

I am after a mt75 4x4 gearbox short prop section like this in the photo with the long metal shaft sticking out the end that goes into the dohnut bearing



But the 3 holes need to be 90mm apart!


The one I bought does not fit my dohnut as the holes are only 83mm apart as you can see here and i did not realise there was a difference between the different cossies




So i am looking for 1 that has the long metal nose to go into the dohnut bearing and the holes 90mm apart if anyone can help

Thanks
Marc

You mean it could just be out of shape? Didn't think of that, maybe il try squeezing it in to fit the bolts

They used to come with a metal band round them when new, it will fit.

I thought I bought it all bolted together but had a few other gearbox prop pieces back then as it was over a year ago, I thought I must of sold the one I needed and powder coated the wrong one

Thanks for your help guys

don't bend the bolts when you tighten them up, they seem to have a habit of doing that if you are using the normal ford arrangement
