    well ive decided to go with eaqual length shaft setup and grp a hubs as im unsure the cvs will cope if i use the 22spline nova gte shafts, knuckles are currentley away being machined for the bigger bearings so hope to have them back soon

    also thanks to brucer for the shaft that mates up to the dummy shaft

    Im still not convinced it make much difference if you have a good clutch and diff, as i see it as another joint means anorther weakness?

    But big block/shafts are a better option IMO.

    I found it took almost all sideways pull away when booting it.

    Its a solid straight splined bar though, so hardly a weakness imo. Its not like your chucking an extra cv joint into the drivetrain.
