Drive shafts again

[Allan]

Ok well, finding a williams drive shaft is becomming a problem...

So does anyone know if the williams and valver drive shafts are the same just diff lengths....

I figure they all fit in the same gear box and both have similar hubs at the other end. So the tripod part must be similar.

My plan is to buy a valver drive shaft and take off the bearings then replace the ones on my williams.

Will end up with a hybrid drive shaft but of the right length hopfully.

If this works then its cheaper then buying a repair kit or buying a whole new williams shaft.

Anyone tried this before?

Which shaft is it as im trying to figure out which shaft is the same as the R19 16V... and which is the Williams own shaft....

[Allan]

well it would apply to both shafts, i should think, its just the lengths which are different.

[Lunner]

IIRC the R19 is the same as the n/s shaft, asked about it before either here or on retro renualt, its about somewhere, have a search

[Rich]

yes the 3 bearings off the end of a valver shaft are the same and yes it does work 100%

[Allan]

cool thats what i needed to know

[Matty86]

yup, done this myself
