Can someone please tell me how long the prop-shaft is on our 2+2's :D

 

from seal to flange please

The good book says that:

 

Shaft lenth (ooo er) is 606mm 1st half both Man N/A & T/T spider to spider.

 

510mm on Auto N/A.

 

489mm on Auto T/T.

 

 

 

539mm for 2nd half on N/A spider to spider.

 

388mm for 2nd on T/T

 

Diameter is 75mm on N/A & 82.6 on T/T

 

Hope this helps.

 

Steve

so does that mean for a one-piece you just add them together?

 

606+508

Well mine's on the floor here so I've just measured it!

 

It's approx. 132cm tip to tip.

Sorry forgot to mention... I've had a few beers so if you want something more accurate you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

And I can honestly say that's the first time I've made a comment like that on an Internet forum!

LOL, cheers Mike!

You having a one piece prop made? be interesting to see what difference it makes if any.

 

How much is it costing mate? Only interested because I need a T/T manual prop myself for a convertion I'm doing and at the moment I'm drawing a blank on finding one!

I've been looking for ages and if you want a steel one I think Z1motorsport are your best bet

I'm really tempted by a carbon, and best price I found was $1100, but now I've found a place that will do it for $700 which is pretty good especially with the exchange rate where it is.

 

Only snag is they haven't done one for a 2+2 TT before, only the 2-seater. Need to know how much longer they need to make it.

 

Asked about group discounts and stuff and said he knock $50 off, but not worth it for the hassle, so I might be a guniea pig if I can get the right dimensions :)

 

PS My current ones needs over-hauling (both UJ's and centre bearing) so the cost in comparison is not bad.

Only thing that's keeping me from steel is the critical-speed issue (lots of info in some old threads) and the carbon weighs even less which is good for rotational mass

 

Stock approx 35lbs

Z1 steel approx 18 lbs

carbon approx 10lbs
