V6Bakkie 1 Posted August 2 As I am sure many of you know despite appearing the same there are many differences that can be very frustrating (and possibly expensive) if you are not aware of them - this is one I was not aware of.... Today I undertook to replace the propshaft centre bearing support on my 1985 Bakkie – I had previously purchased a Cortina unit which on the face of it looked the same – after splitting the shaft and replacing the complete unit (carrier/rubber/bearing) when I came to bolt it up it didn’t fit! – the Bakkie carrier mounting holes are approximately 1” wider apart than the Cortina carrier – it was overcome by transferring everything into the original Bakkie carrier. Hopefully this info may be of use to anybody undertaking a similar task and saving them doing it twice! Keep up the good work on this site - it has been invaluable to me on my return to the 1980’s :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
