MG MGB Technical - Earl y OD drive shaft

Finally found the correct driveshaft for my 67 that was converted to the D overdrive.

The length is correct, but it did not come with the yoke. Are all the yoke's the same? I do have the old shorter drive shaft.

BTW. later mk2 shafts will work, but the threaded cap on the yoke only holds on by a thread and eventually pulled off.

Even id they are all the same you will have to get it balanced when you have fitted a yoke, and the prop-shaft half of the two yokes are in line.

Thanks Paul. Good point. I am putting in new U joints and then will go have it balanced. It's those little things that smooth things out.
