Looks like you are using pretty much the same type of setup as myself although I have a gts w7de chassis.

There are 2 types of output flange on the MT75, the one I have has 3 outer pins and a centre pin with a diameter of 19mm. The second, is, well, different..

The flange on the sierra diff is standard and most propshaft manufacturers will not need any more information.

So, the only information I needed to give was, MT75 (3 pin) to Sierra diff and the length of the propshaft needed.

Also, the prop you need made will have 2 universal joints on because you need more flex than you get with the rubber "bung" that the donor sierra had.

If you give Martin at Proptech a ring he will be able to make a really good prop for you for about £120. They are really nice to deal with and make props for Westy and Caterham.
