Wish I'd took a pic of these shafts now!

Just done a 2.0 8v conversion on a mates corsa. We bought some S/H driveshafts from a tigra 2.0 16v that was getting broke. On closer inspection of the inner CV's someone has welded a big block end bit (the bit with the splines that fits into the diff) onto a small block bit!
The tigra we got them off has been running about the town locally for quite some time and was actually owned by a mate of mine and had quite a hard life! I can't believe it's worked and they have lasted this long and they still looked fine!lol lol lol

lol a few of my mates used this method and it works for a while but they do break ha ha

I Have Seen This Before Specky Does It Quite Often!!!!!

[alan b]

have done this before for rwd applications, if you do it right, its usually safe enough.

[MattBrown]

Been done loads, and worked fine for most, if its welded right it will be fine!

[burgo]

its better than welding the shaft anyway because of the larger area to take the load

Aye if the welding & alignment is OK, then they function as they should, I wouldnt really want to be near a shaft that lets go however....
