driveshaft length

[summeh]

Cheers richy, yep thought so, I've got a 714 block fitted to my williams and I seem to remember being told the 714's ran the same kind of remote housing bolted to the back of the block (in the meganes).

Justine i dont think it would cause any issues with standard exhaust, there is plenty of space. the exhaust manifold bracket could be done away with, or just modded slightly... im sure it can be made to fit. also this is normally just dead space, i dont think it would interfere with your new manifold/downpipe. its very out of the way.

So all the holes look good and in place... I wonder if we can just use 172/182 driveshafts... bet we can

Anyone want to pay me to take them off the 182 and try to fit them on the williams? lol.

[Justin..]

1*2 shafts don't fit the Williams suspension unless you use the corresponding wishbones due to the wider track.

[summeh]

your saying a williams have wider track than a 172/182?

What are the figures on both?

Is that the only reason your stating... be good to get some facts in place if you have any figures

[Justin..]

Oh, you also need the cliosport stub axles, which need modding to fit willy struts. I'm trying to find the bearing sizes of the mk2 RS hubs though as it'd be good to use the rs hubs in the 16v/willy stub axles

[summeh]

I dont see why stub axles have to come in to it... they are separate from the hubs... you could get 182 hubs pressed in to williams stub axles. Assuming they are the same size press... can't see they would change that?

[Justin..]

the splined bit on outer cv's are a different size hence why you need the rs hubs /stub axles, hence why i said i was looking for the bearing size of the rs
hubs as it would be good tu use them in the mk1 hubs :P

[richy]

the 172/182 is wider track then the williams.

[summeh]

sorry must have missed that justin.

[Justin..]

it's a mod I'd like to fit on mine as the drive shafts are more common .. Not that I'm planing to break any just yet

[summeh]

so hopefully you could just use mk2 hubs and driveshafts...

Seems like a more superior set up to me.
