Hi there,
trying to figure out what shafts I need for my deluxe, the only set i have under my other mini are for disk brake from end and the deluxe is drum front.

what driveshafts/cv's do i need on the deluxe? it has a 1098 engine fitted, and i think it needs the inners that slide into the gearbox.
where can i buy the required shafts and Cv's that isn't going to break the bank? and what exactly do i need?

thanks
Leroy.

The CV's are different between drum brakes and disc brakes, disc CV's are bigger. There are really only 2 different types of axles and either will work on either type of CV. There are axles that suit the later pot joints, typically on rod change gearboxes, and then there are those that suit the earlier large rubber or hardy spicer (Cooper S) type of universal joints typically found on remote change gearboxes. Depends on what type you have now, e.g. you can swap the drum brakes to disc brakes by using your existing axles but change the CV. As you're in Brisbane, best bet would be to contact one of the local mini businesses.

hi,
I do not want to runt he disk's on this car, they are staying under the other.
Id rather stick with the pot join style over uni joins/hardy spicer.
is there a cheap way to do it? minisport if i add up the parts i need to build the shafts from them ill be needing a mortguage!
i might give Mr Automotive a call see if they have what I need and how many organs they want for them. .

Leroy.

second hand drive shafts are not very expensive and as said before there are basically two type shafts and they only differ at the end close to the diff, the end that is fitted to the outboard cv joint is the same disc brakes or drum brakes

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I tried my shafts from my disc mini and the stub axle I think it is (im no mechanic) is a lot bigger than that of the drum one? so its not the same? or are you refering to another part?

Thanks
Leroy.

I think You are looking at the CV Joint still attached to the drive shaft, CV joints are different sizes for the drum brake and the disc brake, but the drive shaft itself is no difference between drum brakes & disc brakes
It looks like You are going to see Matt so you will be in good hands, he will be able to help foe sure
