can anyone help!!!

I am currently doing a conversion on my nova, im putting a 2.0 8v in, the problem i am having are the drive shafts. Ive been told that tigra driveshafts work, with cav mk 1600 inner joints, i bought these, but they still dont fit, to the wheel. Ive been told to try fiesta cv joints??? and nova gte joints??? i thought the gte joints would be the same as my original nova's?? also the engine is from a calibra around a L reg, and im running it on a f16 gearbox!!!

any help will be greatly appreciated!!!! many thanks!!

are you using your normal nova hubs? If so you need nova gte driveshafts and cav cv's - http://www.chrisastleymotorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=71&osCsid=7281a1ce042da9c959949dbc389f1132


Or you can upgrade to larger hubs and run uprated driveshafts.

tigra/corsa will be too long.

They dont fit to the wheel ends? Do you have bigger hubs?

Easy/cheap option is nova gte shafts (22 splines on inner) with mk2 1600 cav cv joints. Then use the standard fit outer cv joints off any nova.

Corsa/tigra shafts are too long so wont fit a nova.

--Please note its 22 splines on the inner shaft, not the actual cv joint itself. Only way to count these is by removing the cv joint.--

edit ^ beat me to it :mad: lol
