Chris Wilson Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi Jon, I recommend you use a C/V jointed propshaft rather than the older style Cardin jointed ones. GKN Motorsport, here in the UK, do a lightweight one with flanges for boots, which I can also supply. The gearbox I sent has a prop flange for this type of joint, and as you will probably end up making the whole thing anew I would convert the diff flange to take a C/V as well as the centre joint. I Have two diff flanges for the C/V type joints machined up and black phosphate coated in stock. If the people you decide to use to make a prop haven't got access to the info on these flanges I have a .pdf file giving all the details. It's in Swedish, but they'll get the gist of it unless they are thick Whilst a carbon wound prop would be nice, and should be very light, a one off will you a bomb, especially for a two piece unit, although the lack of inertia may allow a one piece design. I'd get a ball park price before you get too excited! I have the gearbox assembly, overhaul and ratio change manual, full of photos here, but it's a big download in electronic form, shall I post you the CD? Let me know how the gearbox install goes, AFAIK you now have the only other one behind an RB26 in the world http://www.chriswilson.tv/cv_joint.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hmm, that'll teach me to try and do three things at once. I wonder what the hell I have sent to Jon then.... ? I'll start a new thread about in car cameras I think, later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
