Series 1 front drive shaft 1954-1957

Looking for a front drive shaft. I think the 86” and 107” fronts are the same.

Thanks!

I’ve got some spare front props. Looks like what Martin has posted shows the 86” is the same as all other Rover front props.

So looks like and series front after 54 should be fine! Does anyone know if there are differences in them beside length? I’ll take anything serviceable. I will be changing the ujoints.

Scratch that. I just found one in the back barn. I guess it’s time to do some inventory.
