Just tried to fit the Mapco 16056 CVs to my prop shaft and the fit to spline isn’t very tight. Anyone got another recommendation please?

I had to go to a man, who knew a man, who knew someone else's man and got this. I think he said its Made in Britain even . I think i pm'd GT500 ages ago about getting one but don't think i got a response, so i hunted one down myself

Think i must have piled a 1000 miles on already with no issues.

Liking your wit Michael. My old man used to say to me years ago when i asked where you going daddy he used to reply "i'm going to see a man about a dog"

Lol OK I hadn't realised it was all secretive...

So can we presume there is a healthy margin on them then if its a single source and single seller, I can imagine that would be the only reason to keep it all hush hush

Not a healthy margin but the supplier only deals with trade companies. If I sort a few for the fellas on here then I get a nice warm feeling that I helped.
I have sent them all over the world and that is harder than you think! Lots of stupid paperwork/phone calls.

Why? So you can find them direct? Took me ages to get to the source.

So whats the latest on the center bearing, any suppliers of decent parts rather than the BMW one? I found the original unit has the part number 8A0-521-113, and with a bit of searching i found an Audi A8 one 4D0-521-113 which looks right on this page http://www.propshaftrepairs.com/audi...ef-4d0-521-113 Anybody know for sure?

Found some new CV joints with the correct boots, Mapco part number 16056 for an Alfa 145/146/155/156/166/GTV/Spider. Probably fits a Granada too

Those CV joints look good and are only €30 I see online. Would be good to know the dimensions of the A8 centre bearing part and compare that to the S2 item. Anyone got an OEM S2 bearing to measure?

[GT500]

Rob do you have a picture of yours? I'm curious to see it and who the supplier is?
