Driveshaft extension

Post by cimoss »

Hopefully this is a simple question, currently building a kit car with an RV8 (standard spec except for mild cam), LT77 gear box and Granada diff. Prop shaft will need to be shortened and an amalgamation of the SD1 and Ford to ensure correct flanges. However the track of the car is different to the original Ford Granada that the diff and driveshafts are from.

The question is can the driveshafts be extended by cutting and sleaving to fit the correct track dimensions. If so what would be an estimated cost for this. Any good recommendations in the Cambridgeshire area?

Try Bailey Morris http://baileymorris.co.uk/ in St. Neots. They do propshafts, not sure about driveshafts.

Try the breakers yard for a VW Transporter Mk2

The CV-s are same bolt spacing and from memory the driveshaft is longer
