I'm presuming that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 36F/48R for 185R14 size?

It is.  I had the chance to compare my (Scotland/New England) '84 with an
Arizona '84 -- mine has tons of rust but the rubber stuff is in pretty good

cracked.


I assume you saw Frank's note about U-joint vs rubber coupler.
