Adrian at Exactly TVR will have everything you need for this, the interface plates and the UJs. If there's any play in the UJs replace them, they wear out pretty quickly on a V6 M anyway unless well greased. I recommend you get the type with grease nipple attachments (and keep them well greased), the sealed for life type never seemed to last very long.

The driveshafts are Triumph 2000, so any Stag, TR6, 2000/2500 UJ will fit. There are some uprateed ones (bigger yoke) which seem to last longer.
