He seems to think a rebuild is normal given the 69000 mileage, which makes shaft drive an expensive if convenient option considering the shaft snapped at 60000 at a cost of £545 fitted myself!
Anyone know if any other final drives fit on a 1200S? There are loads of low mileage examples on ebay from other 1200s but no 1200s ones.

or buy a S/H unit!!

Last sentence seems to reveal the problem with S/H units

Yes, the question was 'do any others fit as there are never any for the 1200S'
