Having decided that after my debacle with my existing prop shaft(a loose fit with one of the races, I would save some cost and machining by ordering a new one(Hardy Spicer both ends with a sliding joint for an Ulster Rep). After ordering a new one from from one of the usual suppliers, the new one arrived. the large diameter tube is 1 7/8 inches, whereas the old one (largest diameter) was 1 1/2 inches. The engine and gearbox are out, but this seems too large and I'm concerned this will have clearance issues. Does anyone have an Ulster Rep or even standard car and can tell me what the diameter of the largest tube on their prop shaft is? As I am in the US, it isn't an easy exchange. Almost two inches seems much too large and might not clear the tunnel.
