Damn - that looks good.

Daz, maybe double check those oil seals, they look like the older style ones.

EDIT : for some reason, I couldn't see Alex's post when I wrote the above ... but our experiences seem the same.

Daz - apparently the seals you have will fit all types of shafts, so should be OK. If you have a problem, fit the later seals which have a different profile to match the recess in the driveshafts.

Yep - the metal ones are the latest ones Daz, and they fit the MGF shafts.

They are available on Eliseparts website if you're struggling with a supplier.
