Its interesting that you mention the single piece and 2 piece shafts.
Ive owned 3 160Js one i wrecked and all 3 had single piece shafts. Then i know a guy who as had 2 of them both had 2 piece shafts. with a hanger bearing.
I have a spare drive shaft from a 160j i know for sure it suits a 4speed and a R30 standard pattern 5 speed cos its been behind both.
Should be find behind the dogleg.
