What kind of parts stores do they have in England,,,here u-joints are pretty basic, most any sstore can sell 'em to you, I am not at all familiar of what constitutes auto parts stores for american cars overseas. Peace,,,Moosie

I got my non-greasable 1350 U-joints from Mark Williams. I don't trust what the neighborhood parts store sells, for use in a HD Spec High Perf application. Auto parts store stuff would be okay for stocker rebuild, I guess.

Found some at van steel, the normal non greasable ones still show a tapped hole without zerk.
Like the look of the spicer ones though with the spicer h.d. uj/axle flanges.Looking at installing a big motor in the future so may be a good route to go now.
Cant find any spicer h.d. prop shaft u joints though, what do you guys use? is thair more strain on the prop ujs if you only running heavy duty on the axle shafts?
Shipping from the US is no problem, every part ive bought has been purchased in the US and shipped- Price of shipping isnt that bad when the exchange rate is almost $2-£1
