So my S driveshafts are missing the thick circlipthat butts up against the CV. Part no: 17H8597. Unavailable. Can you get them? Where? How do you put them on? Is it easier to find new shafts? Need some soon ish. Any advice appreciated.....thanks. |

My question to this is : How do get them off an existing drive shaft ? Can they be re-used ? The alternative is these : http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Drivetrain/Driveshaft/C-BTA1267.aspx?0803 http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Drivetrain/Driveshaft/C-BTA1268.aspx?0803 |

Thanks for the link. I had spotted those while looking for the circlips. I think the large circle on my shafts cracked in a few pieces and disintegrated . Also don't know how to get them off another shaft... |

You don't mean the retention detent clips? They're made of thin piano wire and can be made yourself. |

No not the thin clips. The larger clip closer to the inside end of the spline. |

Cooper S shafts are higher spec steel but I used std 850 ones on my 1st 1220>1275 Mini, just put the hardy spicer joints onto the splines. S ones have a raised diameter part way along the shaft, also their length is very slightly different. But std shafts do work OK, particularly on a road car. If rallying I'd like S ones at least. |
