250 GTO - the enemy within!

I went to my local wrecker and sorted through the shafts from all the various different IRS equipped Commodores till I found 2 that were close to the length I needed. They all use the same 6 bolt pattern for the flanges.

Since I used a mix of Ford and Holden stuff I ended up making my own drive flanges for the suspension uprights. This let me me mess around with the lengths in the flange dimensions.

You can see how I made the new drive flanges in these pics.

Cheers

Mike - Any idea on the length of those shafts, the Holden Ute were 510mm but I only need around 345mm and I didn't think they would make anything that short. If you used a standard shaft did you use the floating CVs on both ends?

I made similar drive flanges to suit the Datsun.

Would also love to see the front diff mount design - I made one but I'm not all that happy with it.
