Drive Shafts (Part 2)

[bad_boy_nova]

Sorry to go on about drive shafts again, but if i take out my 1.2 engine and put a 1.6 in, will i be able to use my 1.2 drive shafts or will i have to use the 1.6 drive shafts? Cheers

[Ben (lurk75)]

Use the GTE driveshafts.

[Mark]

Yes fit the GTE shafts!

[bad_boy_nova]

Why do i need to use the GTE drive shafts? Whats the difference between the 1.2 drive shafts and the 1.6 drive shafts?

[Aragorn]

none

vaux sell 1.0-1.6 shafts as the same part so that suggests they are interchangeable

[Ste_Nova]

use the 1.0 ones... i'm using 1.0 ones on in my 1.4... if the gte ones are 22 teethed inners (on the shaft not the cv) then sell them

[Dicko]

i agree with ste use what u have now!!!

thats 3 times iv said the same thing this week!!!

[Ben (lurk75)]

none

vaux sell 1.0-1.6 shafts as the same part so that suggests they are interchangeable

They also list the 8v and 16v conrods as the same and they are manufactured completely different :!:

[Dicko]

hope ur not refering to EPC, as its not always right u know!!!

[Aragorn]

its RIGHT

just doesnt mean tahts what came from the factory

if u went into vaux and baught a set of shafts for a 1.0 and a set for a 1.6 you'd be given the same part

same with the conrods - NOW u'd be given the same part - might not have been that way originally

[bad_boy_nova]

What about on 4 speed and 5 speed gear boxes? Do they not use different drive shafts?

[Mark]

NO, definately NO, I have swapped so may gearbox's around on Nova's I have forgotten how many.
