    Shop around and use brand name joints (Spicer etc...) These joints are
    commonly available at most parts houses worldwide.

    Have a look at the alternative parts web pages for specific numbers.

    I'd recommend measuring your old joints too as my SII had a mixture of S11A
    and SIII yokes which lead to no end of confusion for me.

    I'd also recommend NOT following the instructions in the green bible (page
    8-D). Put the hammer on the shelf and use a vice to squeeze the new caps
    into place. No matter how gentle I was, using a hammer just sent 100 tiny
    needle bearings scattering across the floor. Page 8-D is stained with a few
    tears in my book.
