I have one on my built shaft also, my shaft is balanced to 0.22 which is pretty farking good... I need new bushes in the back though and a manual diff/truey as I went from a 4sp auto to a tr6060. 

Got no vibration under load or when I have some kgs in the tray but have a little bit in the back end on the hwy in 6th at 110-120kph but no where else.... but this could be the twin plate hating anything under 1700rpm and light throttle also.

 

Seems like a pretty solid unit thus far though.

Anyone else had anything to do with these couplings? Im 99% sold on it after investing in 2 genuine german couplings so far...

 

No link , BUT 1000rwkw cars still use the factory ford one.

Btw, my tailshaft (above) is a Mal Wood  unit. The rubber cv has been removed and replace with a universal. 

 

 Here is a pic of the centre bearing.

It's a nice bit of kit. Definitely not cheap either, got quoted $2500 for one a few years back.



And yea those poly bushed couplers are absolute poo, bushes flog out real quick.
A solid one would be fine if you didn't the want to replace the shaft but best option is to have a new shaft made to do away with it completely.
