Not sure what you mean by "front spindle yoke." Are you referring to #1 in the diagram below? That's called the "steering knuckle." If that's what you need, the best bet is to either look at eBay or to post a "want to buy" (WTB) listing in the C4 Parts Classified section.

Hi, Matthew Thanks for your reply
i was very vague with my question, so sorry. I need the splined yoke at the front drive shaft which slips into the rear extension of the transmission.

This would be correct (missing dampener) for an A4 C4 Corvette. I'd think if you take these specifications to a 'local' drive-line shop even in AU you can be helped. This one has a correct counter-bore.There's similar available but don't have the counter-bore. There's very likely other vendors for same/similar. Compare these dimensions to what you have 'in-hand'.

This dimensionally is very close missing the 'counter-bore' and could likely be used. Requires your decision.

Measure and compare maybe relying upon a local drive-line shop.

There's likely off-shore similar to the 2-3-4911X that often might sell for $40 or so. I've never used anything other than genuine Spicer.

This maybe if it were available locally branded other than Spicer It would require a cut-off of 1/2" or so to acquire appropriate length with no counter-bore
