60 series double cardigan joint

Post by 45punkbus »

bad_religion_au has asked if i could ask these questions about 60 series double cardigan joint,

he wants to know these two questions:-

1) how much length do they add to your drive shaft?

2) do they take the same sized uni joints as a 40 series driveshaft?

cheers

Agree

As for length think of it as 2 uni yokes joined at the hip.
use them to counter shaft angle rather than create a longer shaft
so work out the whether you need it for the angle and work out if you need a double cardan or if you just need a longer shaft..

pretty sure he needs it for the length as his wheel base is extended even longer now and the splines are just interlocking (excuse my daftness :D )

yeah, but i had the opportunity for a free one, so if it did the job (and the uni's were compatible) i'd be gold.

but they don't so back to the drawing board :)

not front... REAR.

front shaft for rear of cruiser... 'm already running a 55 series front in my rear.

front axle i'm not touching till my rear is sorted (move it back further, shaft, brakeline, rear springs.)
