Post subject:  Drive shafts?
The question was put forward to me last nite over a few drinks, and I couldnt give a definate answer. Is the length of the drive shaft on a disc brake front end different in length to a drum braked front end? Is the CV joint different in any way between the two? Could a drum brake drive shaft and CV be used in a disc brake front end or vice versa? Any ideas!!!!

Driveshaft outer splines are all the same, inner splines are same for rubber coupling or `S' Hardy Spicer and so is length,, pot joint splines are different and their shaft lengths are too.

So- pick driveshafts to suit the inner joints you have, and you're sweet, unless it's a hybrid ToyoSuki power unit... :shock:

Only way I know to use discs with Drum CVs is go with Hondas or similar.
Oops, I just tripped over Anton's 9" set... :wink:

I'm about to do the same in the S replica-, I'm fitting pot joints and diff shafts to an S box, but the CVs are drum, with Honda brakes.

Hey if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck... but yeah it's got Honda brakes- stops better than a duck. And, the wrong hose clamps too... I don't care- my wife likes it, and whatever makes her happy I like too! :lol:

ok, so a pot joint shaft could be used but the drum cv cant, so it would need a cv to suit the disc brake hub and also have the same number of splines as the drive shaft, yeah? What Honda model brake setup suits a Mini? Civic?

Yeah Honda Civic `83-87. discs are 230mm dia (9"+) but you use with DRUM CVs, drive flanges & swivel hubs, not disc ones. Check out the Honda thread in Mini Mods- I know it's long but just skip the chatter bits. :lol:

With 12x5 wheels, you can leave them at full size and they really stop! For 10x5 wheels you need to turn them down to 7.9".

Yeah I spotted that thread bout the brake mod, seems like you have quite a bit of knowledge on that subject Doc. I think I might seriously look into that, along with the N12 dizzy mod. Ill have to go though the entire thread and check it all out. Well I have 12 by 5 superlites, so that will be good leavin em full size diam. Thats great, thanks!!!!
