I've got a spare pair under the bench,i would advise a clean up and repack with CV grease but the rubber boots are ok.

What are they worth ?

Make me an offer

just had the rubber boot off one of my push in shafts and it looks like a tripod setup in the diff end, so not sure if i'll be able to convert them now :S
Not sure what to do now.... either convert to rear disks which'll mean new rear uprights and another few hundred quid all told for rear calipers and the like, or not bother with a limmited slip diff and just use the open one.

Will I notice much difference between lsd and open in an r1 Indy do you think?

All the push in drive shafts have a tripode joint at both ends. If your drum brake driveshafts are from a 2.0l Sierra, then you can just take off the tripode joint and fit a lobro (bolt on) one to that end instead.

In my experience if your push in shafts are from any other engine size, it doesn't work as the splines on the shaft are too small.

I've got 3 different sets of driveshafts that says they're not

Could be related to year I guess. When I was looking into doing this swap it seemed to be accepted as fact that all the driveshafts had the same splined ends (except the v early 1.3 ones), but they don't appear to.

I've got a set from a 1.3, they're a lot smaller than the others. I've also got a set from a 1.8 CVH engined car that I thought I should be able to fit lobro joints to, but couldn't. The Sierra Lobro joints are all 26 splines, but the (non 1.3) tripode ones can be 23 splines or 26. They look the same externally though.

People here that have done the swap succesfully seemed to be using tripode shafts from a 2.0l, so I assumed the engine size made the difference.

This is probably confusing things now though. Yes you can swap the lobro joints onto a tripode jointed shaft, provided you've got the right driveshaft.... Only way to be really sure is to split one of the CV joints covers and take a look afaik.
