Early Drive Shaft needed URGENT
« on: March 13, 2013, 00:27:46 »
I have a 67 Automatic 230 SL. The flex-disc went bad causing damage to the driveshaft flange. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

Is it the flange or the bushing that is distorted? If it's the bushing they can replace it but if the damage is beyond the bushing you need to find a new flange, I don't think they can supply that. I recently had my drive shaft rebuild by Drive line Atlanta, they did the work in two day new universal joints and balanced, super nice guys give them a call.

The EPC show both the centering flange 111 410 01 30 and the front section of the driveshaft 113 410 13 01 as available, so you might try your local dealer or the Classic Center.

The flange was used on a bunch of other cars (108 109 110 111 112 etc.) so it should not be hard to find a used one.
