Modern auto minis driveshaft question

[love machine]

I may have got myself an LSD with HS outputs today. I'm not just about to start a cash war with the "S" rebuild posse and the japs over a set of hardy spicer shafts. When I ripped the engine out of a 1967 mini auto, I put the HS shafts on ebay (£££££££ and wondered if I am likely to find HS shafts on later auto minis or an allegro, 1300, etc, etc.

Anyone got any ideas?

(Bloody hell, a load of stunning women have just walked into my house!!!! )

I reckon about £50 is a good price for some HS shafts without CV's.

If a modern auto mini has them, that's an easy scrapyard find. If not, I have to fork out and kick myself for getting rid of mine.

Grrr. Lesson is, don't be too keen to get rid of stuff.

I think I have a set of S shafts and Hardy Spicer joints in my shed somewhere, will have to dig them out if they are worth something.

The auto minis (mk1) had them as standard. I got more for the joints/shafts (on ebay) than I paid for the whole car. Totally barmy really.

Here's a scenario, I bought my 64 mini for £800, shell was ROTTEN and repaired using polymers as I found out later (didn't take a magnet along when I bought it) so, I ended up breaking it on ebay (keeping the dry subframes and running gear). The stripped remains of the shell got £300, the rest of it sent me pretty much to about £2K in total. It's a double edged sword as now the freeads/adtrader papers only have a few items once in a while.

I would argue that it's driven up the price of autojumble in general.
