Iggy,
I went to buy a new yoke or trunnion many years ago for a BW diff and i nearly
fell over on the spot at the price. I went to a wrecker and picked up a fairly
new one from a wrecker (whole shaft) for $50 which was good value and it's
still in that car afaik. Measure the length of your 1600 shaft yoke (130mm? I
haven't got one handy here to check for you) and trundle along to your JY and
get a shaft off any RWD Datto to suite, late model stuff should also fit and
also an "auto" is alway the best donor for driveline bits (ie no button
clutches hehe)
regards
Terry
