FryBird said the below in his post:
I am replacing my drive shaft U joint, 300D turbo, W123, I have ground off the stakes, pressed/removed the old joint, now need to find the replacement to install.
I think some one said a one from an old Ford Falcon ?
anybody know the correct application to install ?
it seems to be like a cap width ~ 24mm = ~ 15/16"
and a length of ~ 73mm = ~ 2 & 7/8"

So there is a U-Joint available that will fit. That is valuable to know before I start.
The Cap on mine also appears to be 24mm as does the old one from my Volvo.
This is the thread I found:
