A couple of suspension/gearbox questions...


Ok I am building myself a sand rail, and I am using Type 3 fastback IRS (was an auto with drum brakes) and i have just bought a 2 litre kombi gearbox (manual) to go in it.

what drive shafts/cvs do i need to use?? do i just modify the stub axels to suit the 2 litre drive shafts and CVs, or do i modify the drive flanges on the gearbox to suit type 3 cvs?

will the kombi drive shafts with cvs on either end be the correct lenght to suit the type 3 stubs, meaning i just have to modify the bolt pattern on the stubs, or will i also have to machine them thinner or thicken them up??

OR can i buy the 2 litre kombi stub axles as well and use them in the type 3 suspension arms?

has anyone done this conversion before?

The c.v. inside diameter is the same on both the T1 & T2.All you have to do is machine the c.v. stop back a little so the slightly wider T2 c.v. can go on all the way & you can put the circlip on the shaft.
