Chasing the cardan shaft ( fixed unversal joint at bottom where it clamps onto rack)

The top is a fine spline on end of shaft.

There were two versions,

Up to july 1073

And from August 1973.

 

Heres my problem, i dont know whoch one i need! ( custom application)

If you have one, can you measure its o/all length and post up, and what month/year is car

 

Possibly 2+2's could be a third variant?

 

Brisbane area.

I don't think you will find any from 1073 - they were all destroyed at the Battle of Hastings, seven years earlier!

 

Here is mine - 3/72 = 530mm

Thanks David.

I am going to be shortening it to reqd length and resplineing it, can cut and shut mine to another for ni, or if his is good splines, will cut/shut that.

My spline end is twisted apprpx 45 degrees and bent approx 20 deg, due to hitting a dirt embankment.

 

F it gets finished/put back together in time, hopefully, it'll be going up to DatNats,,,

Tried Paul at Ippy, no answer, he's prob away doing scientific herpetology work, out in the bush.

Looking for any of the various versions ( 3 off them?) from any Z, rather Brosbane local, as ot's a bot pf a hassle to arrange chauffer's time
