Rover SD1 propshaft
I've been exploring the possibility of using a CV jointed prop, since it's going to be quite awkward for me to get my engine dead
north-south in the chassis.
anyway, I read somewhere that the SD1 had a CV jointed prop, but I've been unable to corroborate this anywhere else.
Is this true, or is it a load of b*****?
Oh and is it one or two piece?
thanks

Believe it or not Ford DID use three types of prop on Sierra's :-
1, Doughnout front coupling & normal UJ's for other three joints. (most common)
2, All joints UJ's (rare)
3, All joints CV joints. (VERY rare almost hens teeth) Didn't believe it myself until customer brought it in to the shop I was working in cos he
wanted new joints for it.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I just want to know whether they were one or two piece and whether they had CV joints, UJ's or a combination of both.
I found that picture and couldn't make much sense of it!
Oh, and when did I mention sierras?

looking at the exploded diagrame I would say no as ussually a UJ is considered a changable part and thus would have a part no.
Let me know if you are intrested in the one in my shed and I can send you a photo. its no use to me

When I built my Striker I used a prop shaft from a Sherpa van. They have the LT77 gearbox and the prop has a loverly splined slider in the middle
where it is attached to the body. Its two piece with 3 UJ's and the slidder in the middle.
Also all the joints have circlips so you can repair them at home!
All I did was get the diff flange redrilled and tapped 45° round from the Ford layout and that was that!
