Tobin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My Morris CDSW has a ring type UJ on the prop shafts. This is a UJ where the shaft fittings are male and the female parts are mounted in a cast iron ring. It is not a layrub type UJ but can anyone tell me what it is called (so that I can google parts source or a specialist who can refurbish them!). If you know of any specialists who can refurbish these, that would be handy too! Lastly I bought a Morris EA engine (4 cylinder 3500 early Morris) recently which has a remote dynamo charging power takeoff from the gearbox but with a shaft having a bike chain cog on the end rather than a belt pulley. Any idea what it was fitted to? Thx Tobin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Ramsden Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 This is what they look like but the book doesn't give them a name other than "ring type joints". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatchFuzee Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Assuming that it is standard cross journal (spider) and bearing caps inside the ring, have you stripped it down and measured the dimensions of the cross journal and bearing caps, then you could perhaps find one in a motor factors that is listed for a different vehicle or with the dimensions you might be lucky and one on a "universal joint cross reference chart" If you need something special, this company may be able to help:- http://www.dandfltd.co.uk/propshaft-services-repairs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Ramsden Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 ...Assuming that it is standard cross journal (spider) and bearing caps inside the ring.. This design doesn't have spiders like a standard u/j. The journals are part of the yoke rather than part of the spider. If you look carefully at the diagram and the photo you might be able to see what I mean but I'm afraid I'm too stupid to explain it very clearly!

I was probably the stupid one to think my post was going to contain the answer, but perhaps the people here will know:-http://www.morriscommercialclub.co.uk/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
