    Tim,

    Looking at both, you would never guess the larger one is less weight.

    John, so true. I really didn't believe it until I physically picked some up to find the difference is more than you would imagine.

    Remember that the larger diameter one is hollow and the smaller diameter is solid.

    It looks like a reworked Nadella to escape from the "permanently lubricated" joints. Several shops offered these conversions in the US, back in the 1960s/1970s. Original Nadella bearings would tryout and break, while the conversions usually offered Ford U-joints, which have a grease fitting in the center and should be regularly serviced with a squirt go grease. I had a pair on mu 911 and still have one lying around, plus several broken Nadellas.
