Installing ...
Hope it don't break. What material did they use?
looks pretty thin
^ I was gonna say that. Didn't wanna make my post come off the wrong way, but it if it is made of strong quality metals, should hold up.
OP, did shop tell you the material? Or Give you any numbers like how much torque and HP it's rated at?
It isn't just torque and horsepower, it is rotation speed, as I found out the hard way. With the gear ratio of the current rear end and the tire height that thing will be spinning really fast at 60-80 mph. My drive shaft failed at around 75 mph and it scared the piss out of me (thankfully not literally).
That said, this one has to be shorter than the one I used. It also looks like the diameter to length ratio is worse though. Without using a driveshaft calculator I wouldn't wager a guess as to it's viability. Did the shop making it know how fast it would spin or other details?
Yikes. That driveshaft looks small. What material is it made from? Plain steel? Chromoly? Do you know the wall thickness? Judging by the floor tiles which are commonly 12"x12" that shaft is about 5 feet long. I am using 3.5" diameter aluminum on a shaft thats about 8" shorter and only delivering half the engines power to the rear. I would be very very cautious using that shaft you have there. Make sure you run a safety loop.
Drive shaft installed. ( Thick enough to handle the torque and no idea about the rotation speed calculating )
Any way, clutch pedal installed but clutch master cylinder jammed.
Looking for replacement.
Work temporary paused.
:(
They didn't tell you what the driveshaft is made from?
*edit*
you posted right before me. lol
What sould I do ?
Make it thicker ?
Make it aluminum or steel ?
Calculate the rotation speed ?
Cut the car in half and make it Coupe and so the drive shaft will get shorter !
Thanks
