Can you post some more pictures showing the splines and also the threaded portion for the bearing nut?

Sorry did not take a closeup of the splines. Used a locking collar and snapring to replace the bearing nut.

Solved the broken side shaft problem. I made one
Could not find a C200 rear shaft in SA . Machined down a shaft from a FJ 45 Cruiser. Few little mods and it were on the go

The 302 is a little wide for the Patrol engine bay. This forced us to use the stock 302 cast Iron manifolds on the Edelbrock Heads robbing s few horses. This were cured by the fitment of 351W manifolds that were port matched to the heads. With limited space a custom shorty exhaust were build. DSC_17...

Latest mods spare wheel carrier.

Some action prior to the side shaft failure

Broken rear side shaft. Seems impossible to find a replacement C200 rear shaft in South Africa. Option 1 is to upgrade to H260 diff at the back. Option 2 is to make a custom side shaft just to get the Little Patrol mobile in the meantime. The video from the incident :D Too much power and age catchin...

Nice action pic`s

Face lift for the Patrol Flat on our way back after a week of serious 4x4`ing.
