richieroo Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi there, I have a Hatchback and the tranny is now in. Now I want to have the rear driveline welded to the right length. But if I measure 51 inches (which is what everyone is posting here on this forum) , where is that starting from? The best I can tell is that it is the actual length of the pipe not icluding the U-joint or the shaft going into the tranny? Can someone tell me accurately where the measurement comes from and ends at? Thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieroo Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I found the right measurement, 48 inches of NEW PIPE would put me where I need to be. I am going to make it 47.75 though because of wanting a bit of play in between the shaft and the tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 How are you going to insure it's balanced? When I built the Buggy, I had the pro's do it because, I figured I wouldn't get it right?

richieroo Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 I JUST SENT IT out with our driver to a shop. I was going to get real inventive and had all this steam to do it and then I started thinking! Wow THINKNG! So I called a place that will do it for around $110.00. I measured it and I need 48 inches of new pipe. Any more will be wrong! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
