Quick question to which I can't find an answer and I'm trying to order a part online...

1. What do you call the flanged bit that fits between the propshaft and the diff to which the diff front oil seal fits? (there are two named parts which seem to fit the bill, and there isn't a picture of either)

and

2. Does a Vixen S3 have a series 1 or series 2 Vitesse/Spit IV diff - ie rotoflex or non-rotoflex?

Reason - diff "nose" seal leaking as aforementioned bit with flange has groove in it. Temporary repair affected, but needs sorting.

Edited to add - it looks like a small brake disc (I know that's a bit lame)

That would be the pinion oil seal, and the round thing like a brake disc is the pinion flange.
I would guess that as the vixen has no rotoflex couplings, you want the one without them.
