Ed White Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Has anyone ever built a set of driveshafts from parts. I bought a pair of the "motorsport" actual shafts, and have now thought about building them up with new ends etc. ANy help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Long Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Not quite sure what you mean by 'motorsport' but I reguarly rebiuld the 'upgraded' Caterham ones. That's not too difficult to do, albeit a bit messy. I would recomend a proper boot band making tool such as the Draper one. I also use the Fuchs Titan Race CV lubricant - very exspensive but seems to offer better protection and reduced losses on the RR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks David. Can you buy all the parts separately then? Any guidance from where please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Long Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 To be honest, nothing has ever been replaced - they've just been dismantle, cleaned, checked for cracks, and reassembled. Wear has been minimal which I suspect is due to regular servicing with high quality lubricants. I do have a spare set of driveshafts which I bought a few years ago, but never needed to fit them.
