Best drive shaft and hub options

[ledpen]

At the minute I have no shafts at all.... I'm putting and xe into my nova, I have my standard nova hubs that's all. What is the cheapest/best shafts and hub option for me to get sorted?

[ledpen]

Also forgot to say...the easiest to get hold of option

22 spline shafts from a Nova GTE, conversion inner CVs, standard outer CVs.

Equal length setup

So standard outer cv's going into standard hubs? And xe inner cv's going to xe gearbox?
What do you need if you change the hubs to the machined ones you can buy online?

You need shorter xe shafts. And xe inner and outer cvs. Might not be so easy to come across the shafts tho. N

Kinda. The outer CVs will be standard Nova ones that fit Nova hubs. The inners are from a mk2 Cav 1.6 that fit the Nova shaft but also an F20/big block gearbox.

If you get machined hubs, you'll want 'big block' shafts from the likes of LMF, which is a custom machined shaft and standard 'big block' inner and outer CVs. However there's risk with bad machining and wheel failure with those machined ones.

So to fit your original easiest/cheapest bill, I think it's going to be 22 spliners

No problem, feel free to PM if you need any more info.

You really dont. Cut and welded are never good, shorten can be bad at times too.
