I will not be able to get split ones unfortunately, but only the ones as mentioned above.

2 x spacers
12 x bolts

Price 70 Euros (excluding shipping)

That's a pretty good price if you ask me.

As soon as I have more interest then I will make enquiries.

If you need them fast then I can tell you who to get in touch with, but unless your Italian is good it could get difficult.

Im definitely interested.
Could we not do a GB on the T1R ones? Im pretty sure they are split and don't cost anywhere near as much as the J's.

J's are one piece, T1R are split.

Bear in mind that the one piece ones require that you completely remove the half-shafts from the diff which means that the ball joints need to be popped at the hub end. Not difficult but a bit of a chore.

Is it true they're only needed on earlier cars?
Here is what Chris F told me (and is why I'm not fitting mine)

The shaft tends to wear normally, on older cars as this wearing has already taken place the lowering of the car without using the spacer to put the shaft back in the place it was before tends to accelerate the wear on the shaft.

On newer cars this is not an issue because very little or no wear has taken place. Half shaft spacers are not necessary on newer cars for this reason.
