Just be carefull as there are 2 different types for the disco's.

You will need to find out which one you need and from the prices quoted..........the £124 is the newer one with the short output shaft the fits in the hub flange on..........the older type dont have any fixed shafts on them.

Hope this makes sence.

mines the older one without the shaft, ive just spoken to frog island again and they have said that is the one they quoted for but they said they could probably do it for £80 which is still a lot more than £24
