I've got a load of driveshafts in my basement. Could someone get me the correct length for a Mini?
These are pot joint ones.

The ones I've got are from Metros, Allegros etc.. They are all different.

Not very clear but the top one is 520mm and the bottom 590mm.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Ive just measured some without the CVs, and they're respectively 37 and 45 cms. Just for future reference.

Thanks Dood.

If you could measure the total length of the shafts without the joints it would be magic. Beer in it for you

420mm & 485mm

only caveat I would say is the shorter one of the shafts looks like it is uprated; it looks like the fecked ones on the car which flan managed to shear; I know he was running an LSD

I said left side since the post originator would have pulled me for saying 'nearside' as that really depends on locality *happy*

the front will always be the front and the back will always be the back, therefore, left is always left and right is always right. Looking at it from the front, the left is still always the left even though its on the right, when looking at it from the front*happy*

You should try some CAD *wink*
