S3c driveshaft lengths
Discussion
Does anyone know the length of the original driveshafts ?
The nearside one appears to be 455mm long but I haven't yet taken off the offside and and looking for new replacements.
466mm seem to be readily available on-line, would the extra length be ok bearing in mind the concave recesses on the hub and diff flanges ?
Has anyone fitted non-original length driveshafts ?
Thanks
David

I think the V8S has a wider track hence the wider shafts which I also think are thicker in diameter and use the 108mm CV joints.
The nearside on mine is definitely 452mm in total length (subject to my cheap tape measure)
I've just been quoted £150 plus VAT to make one by J&R
I was hoping for a cheaper solution.

I've got the second shaft off the car and yes they are both 450mm
I'e since had a quote for a new pair of shafts for £269 plus VAT from Driveshafts UK at www.driveshaftuk.com
I've ordered 4 new CV joints and will see just how tight or otherwise these new joints are on my existing splines before deciding whether to get new ones made.
Cheers
