Default Knackered 4x4 propshaft donut wanted

Wondering if anyone has a knackered 4x4 propshaft donut that they are willing to sell cheap or even for the price of postage to New Zealand. I want to do some experimentation with making a replacement spacer but mine is still not too bad at the moment so don't want to take the car off the road to experiment with my existing Donut. I think I have attached a photo showing how bad they can be - Thanks to Iain Mac for the use of his photo. The one I am after is approx. 47mm thick and has a centre support bearing that the prop shaft slots in to. Thanks David

Yes - that is what I needed. As you can see, this was 2016 and I have since found a good replacement. Looks like you have made multiple spacers to work with the newer escort cosworth rubber donuts. Are you selling these as a replacement option?
Cheers

That's great you found one! I didn't stand a chance so a friend (also with a cossie) and I designed and built these direct replacements. No messing about with chopping bits of spigot off, swapping from half of prop etc etc.
we've sold the first batch to people all over the world as well as managing to keep our cars on the road.
Check out our little website and give us a shout if you need anything like this.
Bests, Matt https://mandpdevelopments.co.uk/prop...-4x4-cosworth/

Thanks Matt.
I will definitely contact you if I need to replace it again. What sort of money were you selling the kit for including the rubber donut?
