WTB: Later Model 105 Drive Shaft Assembly

[njh1964]

Hi,

I'm putting a complete LSD rear axle into a 1969 GT1300 Junior, so I'm looking for a good condition drive shaft assembly from a later model 105 (ie the beefier assembly with 9mm instead of 8mm bolts). Ideally, I'd like both front and rear shafts, universal joints, centre bearing and holder and the 9mm nuts and bolts which connect the shaft to the diff flange. I already have a new rubber donut at the back of the gearbox. I'm located in Cheltenham in Melbourne.

Regards,


Nick

Hi All,

Even if you don't have a 2lt 105 drive shaft for sale yourself, if you can point me in the right direction of anyone who might, that would be great.

Thanks,

Why dont you just drill out the holes to 9mm?

Hi Ang,

I thought about that, and may end up having to do so, but as I'm putting a Twin Spark engine into the car, along with a 2lt gearbox and 2lt LSD rear axle, I thought a 2lt drive shaft assembly might also be a good idea (ie to better handle the extra power).

Is there much difference between the 2lt drive shaft, and the earlier model drive shaft (ie apart from the 9mm compared to 8mm connecting bolts)? I assume the 2lt drive shaft is a beefier/more robust design. Is that correct?

Cheers,


Nick

Hi Nick,

There is not much difference in the drive shafts them selves, but the center supports are different, the later models have a stronger center mount set up, but if you put your old one in for a little time while you find the later set up i dont think you should have any problems, but you do need to buy the correct 9mm tailshaft bolts not just any ordinary 9mm bolts!

hope this helps

Hi Ang,

Thanks for that... any idea where I can buy the correct 9mm nuts and bolts. Are they a particular tensile and/or thread rating?

Hi Nick,

I usually stock them but have none left at the moment, but if you take your 8mm bolt that you have to a fastners shop and just ask for the same lenth and pitch just in a 9mm with the nuts as well, i can get them but it will cost a extra $6.00 for postage, let me know if you can not get them and i will sort some out for you.
