Failing to find the answer through a search;
Recently there was a topic on manufacturing six bolt flanges for MMM prop-shafts. I believe the company was located in the north of England. It's not listed in the list of three that are on the "suppliers" forum.
Being located in the states it would seem sensible purchasing just the flanges from the UK and having the shaft manufactured in the states.
Could anyone please supply me with the contact details of any company, that manufacture them?
Thanks.
Brian. |

Thanks Terry.
Does anyone have any other leads as I'm sure Mike has hung his hat up in that regard. Though it was good to catch up with him again at the Triple M stand at Siverstone, earlier this month.
Brian.

If it is any help at all we always used a company in Luton called Recoprop.
Not sure if my Dad was still using them until he retired - I am sure Oliver Richardson could help you if you get stuck.
I can send you contact details if you want for Recoprop - if so contact me by e-mail.
Hope this helps
Regards David |

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the responses and the contact details.
Andrew, thanks for the offer on your Prop but I'd prefer going the route of the new flanges. Especially with shipping charges involved.

I got my new propshaft for the L2 from Propshaft Services www.propshaft-services.co.uk who provided an excellent service at a competitive price.

KN0389 has the original 6 bolt propshaft with a loose front flex joint. Rear flex joint feels fine. I am told these original 6 bolt flex joints cannot be repaired. I have a good front flex joint from a different MMM car. My question is, how do I align the front and rear flex joints when I slip the good front sliding flex joint onto the KN propshaft.
Or does it matter??
I do know how to align the "U" joints on a more modern propshaft.
Thanks from Canada, Bob Grunau |
