G'day Men. With a bit of luck it looks like we might have hit the jackpot, and the winning numbers are CR 15788. My supplier has that number in his computer and has ordered one in for me which should arrive tomorrow, at a cost of just under $20. I told him the dimensions I mentioned in my previous post and they pretty much match, although the OD is fractionally smaller. If it fits, albeit with some sealer if necessary, I'll list it on the X-Ref for others.

I have one question for those with better knowledge and experience, and that is how best to tension up the yoke when refitting, given that I'll be on my back on the garage floor. I do have an air wrench that I'll use to loosen the nut and I could use that for tightening, but I don't want to over-tension it and cause other problems. Or am I being concerned about nothing, and should just lean on it with a bit of muscle? Regards, John
