double cardan prop


HoSS

Recommended Posts

have a look in the tech archive for some pics etc

the D2 one is ok but doesn't last long and is not fully rebuild-able.

the output flange on the Transfer box is bigger for the D2 prop.part number STC4379 £40ish

I had a bespoke prop made at the propshaft clinic in Bradford

fully grease-able/rebuild-able. cost £250 ish IIRC

the propshaft clinic one uses the standard flange on the Transfer box

Mine didn't have a very hard life maybe 4 events and 2000 road miles

the D2 prop will cure you vibration on overrun for sure

just keep an eye on it as you can't grease the UJ at the T box end.

and D2 props are sold in numbers so they don't last too long.

the propshaft clinic can rebuild them but the cost was nigh on 1/2 the cost of a brand new one so I opted for that.

It is a good mod for the problem but it didn't turn out to be a long lasting one in my case.

the flange kits were in short supply when I wanted one and I sold it on again on here not to long ago.

D44 had them at the keenest price when I wanted one

I was chatting to a guy here in Swindon that does prop balancing. he says that the toyota hilux uses a double cardon prop, and it's bulletptoof, and greasable, and repairable.

I've got one from Equippe4x4 in italy on mine, a great bit of kit. that too uses a D2 front flange.

Yes, the toy double cardon is very good. Reasonably easy to clearance for large angles as well.
