Has anyone got any pics of how they have mounted the propshaft to the side of the wheel well please? Its the next stage and I'm a bit stuck. Also what thread bolts go into the diff end that mates with the prop?

Cheers

I hope I understand you right. Here's a pic of my carrier bearing.



I found a large lump of box section iron and used it as a spacer to keep the carrier bearing out from the side of the tranny tunnel a bit. I assume this is what you mean when you say wheel well? Perhaps you mean foot well? I hope my pic explains better than I do!!

For the diff / prop question read THIS thread.

All the best

yeah thats what I meant sorry, its been a long day Cheers for the pic, that was similar to what I was thinking of doing.

In our website.... ermmmm

hErE yOu gO

HTH

Is it realy necessary to use the support? I was considering using a 1 piece prop from the rubber donut to the diff and junking the bearing. This will have the advantage of loosing wieght and complexity

That would be fine with a car engine, but a central bearing is required with a bike engine due to the incresed length of the prop shaft.
Alister - where did you get your prop from. I need one like that with a telescopic section between the diff and the central bearing due to my live axle.

A crowd in Newry, Northern Ireland called Gregory Propshafts.
AFAIK he's not too keen on doing sports car props, most of his work seems to be agricultural / lorry related, but his work is of a good quality. A guy I know with a Westfield had his made up by there and recommended him.
As for the mainland I'd guess you might contact Bailey Morris for a custom propshaft?

MK use a 'slider' up at the front of thier diffs, mine has a very similar arrangment up front, I suspect yours could use one at the front and one at the back?
Under the gearstick in the pic the rubber gator isn't covering a slider - it's put on to cover the 2 piece makeup of my prop - it has an inner sleeve mated to a rubber lining which is bonded to the outside which is connected to the diff. This give a slight 'cush' drive effect - supposed to be easier on the gearbox, and less 'clunky' - again it was recommended to me by other much more knowledgable folks and seems to work fine. Mind you it's still as clunky as hell!
