Front Prop Shaft Replacement - supplier?

Can someone advise on a good replacement front prop shaft.

Looking at a genuine one or a Hardy Spicer for a third of the price!!

Bailey Morris used to supply Gwyn, but they had a big falling out, don’t know what over. Possibly phasing. Now Gwyn has a different source made to his spec.

Thanks Andy...

I suspected that was the case as Gwyn’s props looked like Bailey Morris ones up until a couple of years ago.

Which manufacturer/supplier is considered good value and reliable

I’d say both Gwyn and Bailey Morris are the best out there that I know of. I’d happily have either. I certainly wouldn’t be buying from a LR dealer.
Bailey Morris will rebuild yours I believe, if you can be without for a while.

I just bought a genuine from Twisted, taken from a delivery mileage defender for £70.

Bailey Morris do balancing as well I think.

I think they are who supply D44 too, as in the B-M link you can see one of D44’s challenge Defenders as well, and they do I think have some listed on their website too.

I don’t know why people need an Uber super duper prop really unless they are building a challenge machine etc, but, if you can why not of course.
They are very very expensive but are very good but for most people Hardy Spicer and GKN is fine.

The UJs can be replaced very easily. If you however have wear in the sliding joint, or shaft has been mechanically damaged (bent), new shaft will be required. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black
