Universal Joint

Some 'Double entendre' here....
This company supplied me some UJ's at a 50% discount.
The website is a bit confusing as it seems to be an amalgamation of spares organisations for various marques, notably Daimler, Jaguar, Mini, MG, MX5, Morris Minor, Triumph.

Perhaps this is the future for JCS. A similar situation exists for other British Classic Car clubs in various parts of the world. A pooling of warehouse space , people and processes to deal with many marques efficiently.

I think this ties in with developing a list of parts common to other marques, as we discussed in another thread. MGB driveshaft yokes, slip joint and u-joints are the same, although the tube is 2" while the Jowett is 1.75" IRRC.

Knowing a more common car that used the same part makes things easier, although the last time I went to the parts store and used MG as a descriptor, the counter person asked me what marque made that.
