Gazzar Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 My s1v8 half shafts have arrived for my lightweight. £400 of 300M steel! They better last forever. They are absolutely top notch pieces of engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Why on earth didn’t you go 24spline on the inners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I have a pair of pegged Truetrac 10 spline diffs, range rover ratio. They should last as long as 24 spline. The shafts are a tight interference fit, will be covered in anti seize paste and so shouldn't fettle away. And it's only a 2.5 petrol, after all.

Gazzar Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thank you. It remains to be seen if this will work. Can't see why not, though. An expensive, but viable, way to get to CV series axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It should work. Well i went the other way and uprated my Stage 1 axle to 24 spline, via maxidrive shafts, plus a 4 pin macnamara center. Grem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Please how can I update shaft inner to 24 spline for stage one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Buy 24 inter spline shafts, buy a 24 spline diff. Later defenders have the diffs, max trax had the shafts, if no longer available, you can commission them from GB engineering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigj66 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 How does it work with the CV joints in the lightweight swivels or have you changed your axle to a stage 1? Apart from the larger brakes, I s there a difference between the hub assembly on a Stage 1 to that of a standard 2.25 series? scrub that, I’ve just found the answer to my own question. Yes there are vehicle specific parts for the Stage 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 It's all in my build thread, but basically you need 110 CVs (AEU 2522 - available), stage one V8 shafts ( now available ), and stage one V8 stub axles, plus normal post rationalisation hubs. The tricky bit is the stub axles, NLA, but the stage one guys are looking at remaking them. There's other stuff, railko bushes need shortening, swivel balls need some grinding, swivel pins need shortening, but that's all standard parts. I got my own shafts designed and made, in EN26 (?), but there are other options now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I had ten spline inners, second hand true traks. But yes, send him the planet gears, and the CV, the length you want. Wait 7 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait 7 weeks. Planet gears off the diff I presume? I’d just want a shorter version of the shaft itself and wouldn’t want to be stripping a diff down so I’ll give them a call first.

Gazzar Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 They make the splines to fit, no backlash. If they've the gear to hand it's easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
