There's a size limit Joao, so if you're having problems posting it, it's probably over-size.
In which case, contact flakmonkey as he seems happy to host such files. He hosts the suspension files that I posted here.
Cheers, Rorty.

shaft lengths
Thx Joao, I was looking for something like that to compare. Are these lengths for the Lobro bolt-on shafts or what I perceive to be the slip-on at
the diff end.
My measurements above are for the Lobro bolt-on style (both ends), and are for the axle shafts only. I would have to measure the respective diff and
outboard spindles to get an equivalent lengths to those you posted.
Appreciated
Alf

If you would send me the drawing Joao, that would be most useful. 
Cheers, Rorty.

Unfortunetly I've never seen the Lobro ones.
If you could produce a similar dwg for them might be great.

David, I am not really sure what the next steps are for the overall picture. As I understand it, Rorty is asking for assistance from one and all in
assembling the component data base.
I still have to brave the elements to try and accurately measure the Merkur halfshafts - and I'm not even sure that a tape measure will be
adequate to the task!!

I just received an email regarding this and the other thread. Thanks to all for the kind wishes. I have been quite ill for some time which was the
initial result of my absence, although I've been back home for quite a while now.
The main reason I don't frequent this forum any more is that one forum member has an unhealthy dislike for me and has continually caused me a
lot of hassle. This person hacked into my computer some time ago and did a lot of damage. My web site was hacked, mailing lists were stolen and years
of photos were destroyed including pictures of my family growing up (both on my computer and the off-site backup which was on my ISP's
server.
My then ISP couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything other than report the issue. I contacted a lawyer here in Australia and was told I would
also need to retain a lawyer in the UK if I was to take matters further. The whole thing got too big and I couldn't afford to pursue him.
Congratulations – you got me!
Although I changed ISP and have a new web host, the culprit continued to cause me problems virtually every time I posted here. He obviously still has
my mailing lists and continues to mass mail my customers with obscene and vindictive rubbish.
The last onslaught was at the time I posted my De Dion and Cortina upright designs which were obviously more than he could bear to observe, so after
my hospitalisation, I just didn't bother coming back here.
I'm still happy to carry on with this VW/Locust front end design, but only via email as I don't want to stir the (currently) sleeping
beast – although this post will probably result in some form of "retaliation". So if anyone wants to provide any of the info or dimensions
I requested, I'll start drawing it up.
It's sad because this forum was a rich part of my daily life and I really enjoyed hanging out here, sharing ideas and having a laugh.

Hi Rorty,
Have to say I've missed your posts, and as you have been missing for so long feared that things were worse than you cared to mention.
But i'm glad you're well and hope that you frequent this forum more in future.
You have been missed.

Rorty,
I am shocked to hear that anyone on this forum should attack you like this. Please Name and shame the offender he should be booted off here and locked
out!
Your wisdom was invaluable to me while considering my build which is now well on the way I would value your continuing contribution to ths forum.

Really glad to hear you're better Bob - I too had feared the worst. The forum is a poorer place without your contributions.
Shame about the bollox, all you can do is ignore it (which is , I guess, what most people try to do)
I learned last week that another of my friends has made a complete recovery from a "sword of damocles" type condition - so it's been
a good christmas as far as I'm concerned.

I, for one, would like to know who did this, because it's not me! As much as we jousted, I haven't the internet knowledge nor
desire.
I've just had a u2u from Dick Bear, who I've been talking to, saying that he had just recieved a particularly nasty message from a forum
member.
Who are these people??
Cheers,
Syd.
