Not an expert on 500's but aren't all 126 shafts the same size?

I know the coupling are smaller on 500's, but these are for 126, any experts know

You're both right.
There were different sizes for the drive shafts, the main diameter of the shaft shanged, but not the spline end.

I'd be keen on a set of those joints as I have a pile where the rubber just squishes out the sides.

I was thinking of getting the old rubber out and using some sort of resin like they use in those cast your own rubber stuff.

I had considered that before. I had access to a few more machines at the time.
  • you would need a PU resin of 70/80 shore hardness (not sure which, only way to find out would be to send an NOS one for analysis)
  • All the parts need to be chemically stripped to ensure good adhesion.
  • A jig would be needed to hold them alligned whgile pouring in the resin.
  • you need a vacuum casting machine to remove all the bubbles during the filling stage.
That is why I never got round to making one, seemed easier to buy a tripod kit!
