Drive shafts

Hi

I cleaned out the garage at the weekend and found a pair of old GTA drive shafts [with ABS rings] from an Alpine I used to have many years ago.

They are badly worn which is why they got replaced and I was about to throw them in the skip but I thought I'd better ckeck with you guys first.

Any use to anyone or skip?

Where are you, I'm sure someone will look after them for you. They would be better than a broken one I guess.

I'll have them if they're going spare .

They are only £60 new at the moment but there are no LH side shafts available any more only RHS so they could be useful to the club as a pattern for re-manufacture.

If I paid the postage and gave you the address would you be prepared to send them to the engineering firm that produces them for patterns?

These drive shafts - are the RH & LH sides different lengths?

Yes ,slightly .
Can't remember which is which tho ......think the nearside L/H is the longer by about 10 mil ....ish .

Yes like Clee says one is slighly longer than the other, if you have 2 the same length then they are both for one side - not that it matters seen as your giving them away Whereabouts are you? I'm not trying to nick them from clee or dell boy just if your close by or on my way to somewhere I could pick them up for them to save postage.

Thanks.

One is 720mm the other is 730mm, so they must be a pair.

But like I said they are badly worn and would not be much good for anything else other than being used as a template. [None of the boots have split].



I'm in Derby if someone wants to pick them up or will post.

They are very heavy. Postage will be steep. Have paypal account.

Ben.

I'm just up the road in Heanor Can I pop round Just let me have a time and place

2 horse race and mr Clee has the edge me thinks

Mr. clee got'em.

Good luck with making some new ones.

Well done Clee, you dont hang around do ya...like a rat up a drainpipe

No worries, Mr Metters has offered a pair of A610 shafts for the same purpose and they will be suitable for all vehicles.

The first of the new shafts has already been made but there are some issues with the CV joints which were made to a different spec, hence the need for patterns for comparison.

Feckin typical ....Southern Mafia keeping it all to themselves .......CV issues ?? Is da chrome too fick or is it the wrong shade

[stephendell]

They were made with 6 bearings rather than the 3 pronged original type and I thought it restricted movement and felt horrible. Might have been stronger though. It wasn't me that commissioned the originals it was Renault, we're just doing a bit of fine tuning.

No chrome , you should like them they're matt black!
