1. Buy a genuine Suzuki replacement
2. Try and import an aftermarket replacement
3. Buy a used old style 6-ball replacement half-axle and hope it fits and does not cause problems.
Looks like I'll be shelling out for a Suzuki part

Well they are listed with my distributor but only in the equivalents table and the table points them to the 6-ball joint.
Their master document does not describe the cage/balls. Instead it gives this table:
CV1569N
Seal diam.: 28 mm, Int. teeth. wheel side: 20, Ext. Teeth, wheel side: 26, Ø: 72 mm, Overall Height: 166 mm
20 internal splines, manual transmission, model code FJ. Engine code g13b
Then there is another listing for
JCV501n
Seal diam.: 28 mm, Ext. Teeth, wheel side: 26, Overall Height: 166 mm, Ø: 72 mm, Int. teeth. wheel side: 19
Manual, auto, model code FJ, engine code m13a g13b,

If it helps, I've got a couple, as I've changed my front shafts to 26 spline -

Yeah thanks, one of my local motor factors had the part no. listed, but it had a note saying not applicable to my vehicle registration. They got one in for me just in case, but yep, it turned out to be the old 6-ball type. I've contacted a couple of UK CV specialists to see if they can help - hopefully get replies back tomorrow.

Thanks Dave, I'll see how things go, but could be interested. At least if you've swapped yours then I know that they are definitely interchangeable. I wonder if there would be any implications of having the nearside 8-ball and the off-side 6-ball? I don't do any real off-roading, I just live down a rough track!

Because you cannot always get the new CVs depending on UK wide stocks.

This suggests that apart from the CV joint the shafts are identical except that there is a difference in the number of Int. teeth wheel side 19 vs 20 (I believe this refers to the diff end). So in fact the two shafts would not appear to be interchangeable.
Glad to see you can offer the new shaft at a more reasonable price Martin, however I have already managed to get one at a similar price from a local dealer, otherwise I would have got it from you. Its a shame the Jakopart or Meyle versions don't seem to be available in the UK and none of the CV/driveshaft specialists I contacted were able to help. But thanks to everyone here for your help - I should be back on the road for the weekend anyway!
