Looking For Short shaft

Post#1 » Mon Dec 17, 2018 11:28 am

I am looking for a CV-style short shaft (6-bolt flanges) to connect 722.6 and VG150.
Maximum length about 235mm.
Am checking with Kardanwelle24.de
If none available over the counter, might have to shorten a new one.
Thank you,
Marc

GKN makes the part, and I believe that the shaft is available in many lengths.

I've never tried to get the shaft on its own. Post your results one way or the other.

hi marc .

what you are looking for does not exist .
the 280GE automatic has the shortest shaft which has a different design and is not possible to shorten from a longer one to this lenght depending on the shape .
the 280GE always has had 8 holes flange , a 6 holes flange prop shaft in this length does not exist .
most prop shafts shops do not do this length .

i get one of them very soon .

attached photos of the short shaft and a customs made shaft ( but this is longer ) .
