Hardy,
Unfortunately I have experienced what you have. Lucky for you, there are replacements avaialble now that weren't when I was in need.
I made out fairly well considering at the time I didn't know what I know now.
I was able to get a set of half shafts from a bone yard but I didn't know anything about installing them at the time. Lucky for me there is a very good axle shop where I live. The only condition they placed on the job was that they didn't want to pull the shaft out & managed to rework the inner CVs using donor parts from the axles from the bone yard.
Sorry I can't get you measurements from mine but I recently sent them to RCV (I think that was the name of the place) for them to reverse engineer aftermarket shafts for us.
There was a lot of talk about CVs in some old threads, I'll post links when I find them.
& yes, you can remove the half shafts from both the inner & outer CVs and run without shafts at all (green cups will be empty) until you find the correct replacements.
