Drive shaft lengths (Lobro)?
pigiron - 21/1/13 at 02:27 PM

Could anyone meassure a pair of Sierra rear bolt on 100mm Lobro type drive shafts please and tell me what model they come from.

I need some like this;

25 splines inner & outer, 47.4cm 7"
25 splines inner & outer, 51.5cm 7"
but for the life of me I cant find what Ford model the are off.

I have found reference to them on Seventh Heaven but no info on origin.

I am pulling my hair out here, please help

I would expect them to be all the same, ie fit any other petrol sierra with 100mm bolt on shafts. What do you need to check them for?

^^ there are 2 or 3 slightly different lengths used across the sierra/granada models - but I think it depends on age as much as the exact model

Resolved!

The reason for my confusion is that I purchased a pair of brand new shafts from Ebay wich were listed as simply Sierra, when the arrived they were too short, leading me to question what my chassis requires.

I have just read the invoice, and spoken to the suplier, which I should have done days ago, and discovered they are specials for made for Wesfield (426mm&465mm).

Had they been listed as such it would have saved all the confusion.

they might be of use to someone here

or I think I've still got a pair of longer shafts (without joints) - I can look them out if you like ?
