Hey Gordon, If you're changing you diff center then I'd go with a one piece shaft. I'm running a one piece in my LWB and haven't had any trouble with it in 20+ years. Just get it manufacture properly and well balanced and she should be good.

Haven't got your Nationals entry from yet. Hope you can make it.

Garry, my middle bearing has done a sad on me on the Jumbo, how long is your one piece shaft, I thought going one piece on a jumbo would be to long ??? but might not have a choice as a bearing for a Bedford is out I guess umless I go to  a VN 2 piece unt......

Bas, I bought an original bearing with the rubber surround and the metal outer and mounting bracket from the UK for the standard van, but it wasn't cheap. Worked out to about NZ$150 with the shipping. I wouldn't do it again.

Where from, that's not to bad a price, is the bearing pressed on ??? Cheers

Bas, it was from Adrian Bailey in the UK. I've found him very reliable. Answers his emails promptly, keeps you updated and his shipping was pretty quick. His Bedford knowledge is also exceptional. His email address is  adrian@roverland.eu. He has a website too. Google adrian bailey classics I think.

Bas, yep it presses on to the shaft. All you need to do is seperate the two in the middle by loosening the centre bolt. Best is to loosen the bolt while the shaft is still in so you can get a bit of purchase on it. I learned that the had way :) :)
