Hi all. Im after a bit of help with my driveshafts. To cut a long story short I have to cut and shut my 172 driveshafts, the end fitting onto the gearbox (drivers side) is an internal spline with an end flange on, being held in by the bearing on the block. I am replacing from 1.2 oasis shafts...

Cheers. Yeah its not bad. The oasis' and similar are still cheap to tinker with. Get one while you can i say

Been a while. Been getting on with it. Also been using it on and off as its just to loud. Put the interior back in to see if it helps. It did a little bit. My lovely wife got me a camera so i tested it out.

Thanks man. Still lots to do. Its constantly on my mind, cant switch off from it. Very distracting.

Dont bow just yet. I may have condemned it with this wiring haha.

Been driving this for a few days with the loom plug going through the window and the bonnet strapped shut. Not ideal, but all was well untill day before yesterday when it started to not charge. Limped home and was running on 3. On idle its charging at 9v, so investigation there is needed. But...

stripped 172 driveshafts ready to cut down. Just need to get mine off to measure the length. Although im not sure ill need to on the drivers side. Seems to be alot of slack in the central joint. 172 brakes and hubs. Need a good clean and paint. Possibly in need of new bearings. And some...
