well ppl hows it going. just wanted to no does any one no were to get a metal tube with an internal spline cut into it? the spline would be for a drive shaft going into it. let me no cheers.

Can't you get a mating part (to the male - external spline) and adapt it? Would be easier as many of the internal splines are made using specialised tooling so generally very expensive to make low quantities.

its for the rear end of an off road buggy that we are designing and i was thinking of mounting the main cog and bearing on a spline tube and slide in the drive shafts? if any one no's an other way plz write back.

what sort of rear engine buggy? What engine and what gearbox.

We use this format all the time in autograss so can probably give you a cheap solution!

the buggy is a full suspension high powered bike engine(hopefully blade) the pic on rite is the drive with cog bearing etc, the problem is conecting the wheels the the drive, we can't seem t find u-joits or spline tube, help

right, thought it would look like that!

the bike engined grassers are much the same.

Make the flanges either side of the sprocket to match sierra "lobro" type 6 bolt flanges (ones on disc brake rear end sierras) and then use sierra lobro CV joints (will rocommend using sierra rear hubs anyway, nice and easy to mount plus you can buy the mount plates from plenty of suppliers on here)

then get custom shafts made to the length you require. GB Engineering in Nantwich make them for £70 a piece, splined to suit the sierra cv's and they are unbreakable.

thought of that but will you be able to put the bearings on with the flange in place?

would the granada have the same shafts as the sierra dicks?
