Help propshaft

[delstarts]

Need to find a propshaft for my jago does anyone know what type car they come from

Depending on the set up it will be either crossflow at front and Escort rear or if running a OHC then Cortina (or if 5 speed Sierra) front and Escort rear. Now there are several different flange set ups on the Escort axle depending on its original spec.
The only real way of getting a prop shaft the correct length and fitment is to have one made by one of the many prop shaft manufacturers (our closest being GKN at Leek).
Insist of greaseable U/J's as these can be pumped full of fresh grease (with a grease gun) on a regular basis to prolong the life of the joints.

What set up you running? Cos i got a propshaft laying around. Made for a 1300ohv four speed box. Saying that the gearbox is lying around aswell, anyone need one?

Quote....."If utilizing the Ford 1600 or 2 litre overhead camshaft engines, you may well find that the propeller shaft from the Cortina or Capri will fit the Escort back axle." ....unquote.
As per the 'Constructing your Geep' page of the official Jago Geep sales brochure.
Hope this helps.

nb...if your current set up ie Pinto/auto box isn't your favourite and you want to change it to something you're going to be happier with, please don't chuck it!! A couple of fellow members are on the lookout for that set up.....cheers
