M steering UJ's

[adrian@]

As a comment and I will post this under a new topic...The steering joint listed as No 69 (this is the standard M type UJ) which some people have as a replacement in some of the Vixen cars have recently been found to be incorrectly made, in that they do not have an undercut on the back of the internal spines and this causes the UJ to have no clamping force (although the unit fits it is never tight enough) and causes wear in the splines.
I can not find a source for the supplier/manufacture and presume that these have been in stock with people and sold out over the last few years...We have had all ours and having ours modified to the correct spec.
