Not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
Yesterday I performed am emergency stop and heard one almighty bang like something heavy flying thru the cabin into the back of the passenger seat.On close inspection today in the daylight I found that the torsion bar adjuster bolt had snapped.Some part of the bolt/washer combination made contact with the prop shaft and put a penny sized dent in it .Will this cause me any problems due to imbalance etc?

I've got a 2.5 rear prop I can send up if you need one mate...can grab you a torsion bar adjuster bolt to...
Can have shipped tomorrow, for delivery monday....or possibly saturday even (but the couriers charge a lot more for that)...
Prop vibrating even slightly can damage the output on your TF box, and the pinion bearings (new axle) so I wouldnt chance it mate like Andy said.

Change the propshaft AND check the end of the transfer box from the joint in the casing to where the rear prop fits.
Don't end up doing this....

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
