How can equal lenght shafts work? surely the O/s shaft has to be longer?

The o/s shaft is broken down into two shafts, The one that is at the hub end is virtually equal to the short n/s one. Which is why they say equal length shafts. Search some w.i.p threads there should be some pics somewhere, I think Kieth runs them on his turbo.

You just use the internal intermediate shaft from a cavalier or calibra - The bracket bolts to the back of the block and then has an inner CV joint built into it.

You then get a shaft from the likes of Christ Astley or the like and its roberts your fathers brother.

Does cut down on torque steer quite a lot from personal experience.

Hope this helps

I see the Count is trying to do this on his smallblock. Be interesting if it happens, though he is using an F20, so perhaps that makes it possible? Originally from the Cav GSi's & Calibras is it not?
