Hi guys,
I just saw these adapters on MED's site. You can use your pot joint outputs and run the hardy spicer drive shafts.
Has anyone used them?

And for those that don't know, Hardy Spicer joints fit fine on 850/998/1098 Mini rubber joint driveshafts. I run a pair since damaging an S one where the wire circlip sits. |

I have slotted them in, and although only short term they were fine. ( my road motor with pot joints did a short stint in the sprints car ( hardy spicer). Literally plonk them on and away we went, and must of come off easily as well as i cant recall it, but the motor is sitting on a bench without the adpaters now. As i was doing an engine swap i cant tell you whether there would be any hassles doing in situ, but i would guess pop the top ball joints and plenty of swinging room |

I ditched the hardy spicers in favour of pot joints... |

Back in the 60s? There were similar ones here that fitted the old rubber joint diffs. I bought a 3 synchro box once that had a pair on. Don't know who made them, maybe were local? |

Yes Kev I got a second hand set out of a mini K at the local wreckers Pretty sure Quinton Hazel. Was late 70s I was breaking the rubber ones at an alarming rate but these were awesome. |

@ Ian_B Not Quinton Hazel ones that fit into the rubber couplings, I have used those. These ones looked like the flanges in the MED link above except they had a nut inside to hold them on the 850/998 diff output shaft. Used with Cooper S Hardy Spicer uni joint assembly. |
