Going up from Series to R380 probably

[discomikey]

Thanks Rob, Im currently running 2wd as i have coiler swivels on my series axle, as a result nothing short of Stage one shafts will directly fit, and even those might not be quite right.

Do a bit of maths.

The Stage One shafts are 400 and 723. The Coiler are 450 and, well I forget but it's on the Ashcroft site. You know the difference in casing lengths and the thickness of you spacers.

Add both shaft lengths for the same type, and subtract the casing length and you will get the amount sticking out the ends of each type. The difference is then how much into the hub you are. Don't forget to allow for your spacers. You then need the Coiler "stick out" + spacer thickness + (Series shaft - Series "Stick out"). This means you don't need to worry about the diff offset differences.

A picture would probably help here....

Edit,

There should be a diff in the middle too but that will be a constant.

I have just checked the front axle drawing for a coiler and the Long leg Flange Face to diff centre is 737.5mm and Short Leg flange face to diff centre is 350.25mm.

thanks very much, i was planning on having a measuring up session soon. i had already measured everything up and come up with the right lengths, but i have misplaced that cereal box snipping somewhere now.
