Default Cosworth 4wd propshaft universal joints - help

Hi
Does a OE partnumber exists for the u-joint for the 4wd Cosworth
I believe to have read they are the same for many older Fords.... But which ones?
Alternatively where to find the measurements for these?

Any help much appreciated 😊

I know the prop ‘doughnut’ towards the front/gear box end of the prop shaft was not available to buy as a separate part, I had to buy a complete prop shaft from Ford at around Ł300 iirc for my 90 4x4 sapphire cos, that purchase must be knocking on for 20 years ago now, very difficult to get hold of nos Cosworth parts these days

Yes very difficult to get hold of and from Ford it is impossible to get a clear answer...

I did consider ordering from Burton or Graham Goode, but being from Denmark, the price + shipping + customs charges makes it very expensive.
A friend of mine might have found a solution...
It seems to be identical to the one on a Volvo 210/544/140
Measuring 61,29mm across and 23,82 in diameter.
Price was about 20Ł

I will update this thread if it fits.
Fingers crossed
