have i been ripped off?

[NOVA-LE67]

i have just brought what i was told were conversion shafts for a nova but when they arrived they are 25 spline shafts which i believe are for a corsa. can i make these work
or have i just wasted £150 lol everyone on hear has 22 spline shafts right? its for a f20 box
if i can make these work what CVs are needed?
thanks

I think if they're Corsa shafts they'll be too long for use on a Nova..?

[Iain]

Just to double check, you're counting the splines on the inner of the shaft and not the CV?

Just to make you feel better I just sold a f16 box and shafts for 50

Like jack said corsa shafts are slightly longer and will not fit

You haven't been 'ripped off', you wasted your cash and bought the wrong shafts

Big block nova shafts are 25 spline to suit big block cvs, so could be nova shafts, short one will be around 310mm end to end if they are.

[Adam25]

Without cv's

cheers Adam
so what exactly do i need?
where do i find big block CV's will they be a standard part or conversion part? will they fit nova hubs?
thanks

To be fair to the guy, he was told they were "conversion shafts for a Nova" so thats surely what you'd expect to receive...

[Iain]

If they are "big" conversion shafts they'll need Cavalier CV joints. You can get them off eBay for £13 each, both inner and outer.

You'll need the conversion hubs for those too, can't use standard.

cheers for the help guys and thanks jack for coming to my defense . This is a great forum we have hear but there seem to be a fair few people that seem to love putting people down thankfully only a small percentage though :)
thanks again
