Drive shafts - the old ones, the new ones and...

PostPost by: Emma-Knight » Sun Nov 11, 2018 12:18 pm

When digging in the garage, I found these: one early drive shaft, large PCD, and an "intermediate" one, one side large PCD, one side small PCD.
The later ones just have been drilled in a narrower diameter, fortging/casting remains the same.
Also, the drillings are off angle to the casting with those later shafts I checked. It seems common practice :shock:

Cheers. Anna

Look closely, the gold one is drilled off centre.

All three holes - or it wouldn't fit. Quality kit!
