   Yours look to have more of a machined and bigger tapered edge, Deffo not the same as mine!
   
   anyone got a photo of flat ones?

    olly - those are defo the 'flat' ones.
    
    As you aware these drive flanges have been giving me a big headache recently, so i've been looking at lots of pictures.

    p.s. olly, if you want, I will have some taper style ones spare soon saving you having to get new driveshafts. But you will need new wheel bearings to fit them.

    Only just seen this, Cheers for confirming that for me!
    
    So am i right in thinking the 'hubs' are different between the taper style and flat?Meaning they require different bearings , or could i use my bearings into your tapered hubs? Think im making sence here. Might be easier to buy some different shafts Price of new bearings it isnt much more...
