Driveshaft lengths

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

Does anyone know the exact difference in length between a Willy shaft and a standard Clio shaft?

I am having a bit of difficulty machining the Willy inner joint to get the clearance needed in the diff and wondered if a standard shaft may do a better job. Ideally I need something between 5-10mm shorter. I assume the actual fitting into the hub is the same size?

Anyone know?

which one do you want measuring? i have 2 valver shafts in my engine conversion box :)

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

Passenger side one please. From where the outer cv joint buts up against the wheel bearing to the end of the shaft where it sits inside the box.

[Rich]

ok mate i'll do if for you later on after work tonight :)

[Rich]

passenger side shaft from outer cv to bearings = 525mm :)

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

Rich, thanks for that, but it looks like my machining of the Willy shaft has worked out fine and I wont need to buy yet more shafts.

[Rich]

good stuff! glad to hear it mate :)

Back in full working order for FCS then Mark? You joining our convoy in...?

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

It may even be fit enough for a thrapping around the track. Hope I can pick up a slot on the day.

Will probably be picking up the convoy somewhere, Will have a check of your route.
