Warthog Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 A purchase off ebay, that would seem to have gone wrong? They were described as the Long and short uprated shafts for V8 90, 24 splined? Bonus i thought, just what i need to start sorting the axles out on a budget............. Shaft 1 Length = 33" 23 splines one end, 10 splines the other. Shaft 2 Length = 38" 24 splines either end. No oil seal area? Cheers for any response, guess you live and learn Quote
Warthog Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Yep, they're definitely half-shafts... Ah but these have had the Chocolate coating removed for identification purposes I reckon the short one is from a standard 90? The long one is a Salisbury rear? Am i correct? Just looked on the Ashcroft site Quote

I'm just in a "state the bl**dy obvious" mood this evening Edited to add: I'd give Ashcrofts a call in the morning if you have no luck. I hear they are jolly helpful chaps. Quote
landrover598 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 v8 90 shafts are only £15 each, not worth buying second hand I can measure my spare set if you like ? Quote

No worries about the measurements, im pretty sure i have identified them now. Cheers to the Ashcroft www. When asking about V8 90 halfshfts at the local Bearmach shop, they didnt have any details on availabilty Quote
Guest diesel_jim Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 And remember that proper V8 90 shafts are 24 spline at both ends, so that 10 spline one you've got, aint V8 90 rear! Quote

Yeah i know The Auction clearly stated "Brand New 24 Spline V8 90 rear Half shafts" The piccies had rubber covers over the splines like new one have. Oh well dropped a bo££ock on this purchase ...........Gonna have to go through the Eblag process....Bla Bla Bla On the upside...............Old Sodbury is on Saturday Quote
Guest diesel_jim Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I bought a V8 shaft from bearmach in west swindon a while back, it was only £19 odd. pretty cheap. and its still running in my Tdi 90 with lockers in, so lasted well. Quote

Looks like thats where i shall be going to in the end? But Old Sodders may turn up something or other? Just been contacted by the seller, all sorted hopefully? My faith in good honest Land Rover folk has been restored........... Quote
