All,

One of the driveshafts on this AS code box is toast. Needs replacing. I think you need to do these in pairs? Do you need the fulcrum plates matched to the box or the shaft?

Anyhow, looking for a pair of shafts for my box. Ones coming off have the blue band round them. Know this equates to a measurement but can't remember of what!

Anyone local ish to me got a pair? Could collect from the MBC meet tomorrow

Thanks

Best give volksmagic a shout tomorrow morning mate. They should have some sets. Think the fulcrum plates are the same as far as I recall.

HI Ben,

I have a swingaxle gearbox that's mullered, with short length shafts.

You are more than welcome to come and take it away and clear space in my shed.

Cheers bud. Did the 4 stud set up bugs run the short shafts then? I can never remember which had the short and which had the long shafts....

No mate sorry. The pre 67 were short shaft but 5 stud. You can convert to use 4 stud, but you need to get the inside of the 4 stud hubs machined down (its what we did on Mark's burgundy Doon to get his 4 stud, 295mm rears under the arches of the Doon).

Quite an easy change in the end.

It was the post 67 that were 4 stud, but had 30mm longer shafts either side.

Got one shaft here as I used one on super gimmers build, no idea of the colour but can take it to the meet not sure if the plates are there but if the paddle measures up the same yours it will fit you can buy individual HD shafts without matching plates just fit and check the running clearance.
Why change in pairs they are independently adjustable, changing as a pair is fine if you snap one as the other may be strained.

Chad, thanks very much for the offer. However, I'm not sure my drums are the same as normal as they were proper blanks, drilled and studded.

Keith, could you let me know what you want for the drive shaft and possibly bring it to the MBC meet tomorrow if you are going?

Thanks.

Just had a quicklook on my shelf and could not see it, I will have a proper look in the daylight as I took a pair off a noisey box a few years ago and have only used one.

I have got a shaft Ben!, it even came off an AS code gearbox.

Thanks
