Drive shafts

[slideways]

Are they TVR specific?
if not any idea what they came off?
and a long shot i know but does anyone have a scale drawing with all the measurement on?

cheers

Richard once you have the details get a price from Moser across the pond.
Very reasonable by all accounts.

I think Paul might be interested also.

On the Griffith 500
they are Ford Scorpio I and so.
Sadly I do not have the Ford part number.

Maybe this helps a bit.

Cheers guys, it was Pauls mishap at the pod that has prompted me to look into this!
really should only need the pcd of the holes in both cv joints and overall length and diameter of the cvs and buy the whole thing

[dbv8]

These are the guys to talk to...

Granada Scorpio 24V i believe.
Dont buy those as they snap on the under cut for the circlip.

I had raceprooved ones, but i have now bought four of these.
But they look like this....





I have lots of torque, probably more than you have?

I am now going here as he offers a lifetime warranty.

Be interested on prices their Paul.
Websters delivered the Moser shafts to a friends 10.4 second MGB at the pod and they came in at only £220 each.

I thought the race proved ones were supposed to guaranteed for a 1000bhp? Have you not gone back to them?..

Furry muff.

It is shocking that you seem to be breaking the raceproved shafts quite easily.
I would like to see a proper slow mo of your car on the strip. Maybe there is evidence of some wheel hop or something suspension wise that is causing shock loading.

They say i have too much power, and they dont warranty race stuff...
So i'll try the Dave Mac, i explained 7ltrs and Drag use every now and then,
he said "no problem, no quibble", gotta wait 3 weeks, but it has to be worth a shot!?

Last one was no hop at all, was relatively tame, the plank next to me took ages to get ready, so the big burnout i had just done was wasted.
I actually spun quite hard, but then the the tyres came back in and this is when this last one let go.

Yours is a road car tho I know I've seen it!!! So you have half the power they claim they can withstand & they haven't even asked for them back so they can have the hardening & material checked??? That's piss poor service & sounds like a piss poor product & shocking customer service.

Dave Mc is a good place just don't mention old bikes or they will torque you death!

Thats not good may i suggest you give reco-prop a call they have made me driveshafts to take 1000 bhp no problem.
