Wow, this post is getting long. Just one more thing. I believe there are probably three (and maybe more) types of 1/2 shafts that I have noticed on Panteras (photos of #2 and #3 below may look to be similar, but if you look closely, you can see they are different).
The three I have seen are:
(1) The stock one, which I am now trying to get serviced for my Orange car (no photo, sorry), but the one I have is shown on page 41 of the 2000 Hall Pantera catalogue (Stock or not, this is the one I have).
(2) The Spicer unit sold by PI, and probably other vendors (photo below of the one from PI).

(3) This unit below from a photo off of Pantera Place of Toni Fasola's 1/2 shaft (actually this unit is on my other Group 4 show car, and I would like to find the source for this one, as they look nice chromed. Anyone know the source of this one?).
