Length on the front shafts are 327 mm. and 423 mm. Meassurements from flange to flange on the inner side of the CV joints. This is for VR6 front subframe, stock mk2 subframe gives 7 mm. shorter shafts on both sides.

ModeratorI agree, my input was only in fun, and it also showed my lack of computer know how as well!
Don’t forget that next May (2011) I am 60 years old, oh sh*t thats a bugger, I think I must have been born to early!

Originally posted by ld50well the other thing I needed to check was a wobbly wheel, and in the process of locating a spare wheel to test with I found the old Hamster we pulled out of the syncro, complete with the small section with the 3-pin plug for the second hamster. So I *think* we’re good to go.
I’ve ordered a 3-pin hamster so will report back once i know for sure one way or the other

Ah Ha, now it all makes sense, its a wobbly wheel and not the hamsters thats causing the site to run slow [

ModeratorEven as I type this, LD50 is down at the petshop buying a new hamster, when he returns he has promised to oil the wheel as well.
This is what was originally happening when someone logged on.

You may like to look here as well as it now appears a wobbly wheel could have something to do with the lack of site speed!

Seriously though, we are shortly switching to a new format/Database platform, which should hopefully fix the present slow running situation.

ModeratorYou will need the relevent rubber boot(s) (Hamster wellingtons) to waterproof it as well, P/N 191 927 907 [
]Chris S
Moderatorthe 2 pin plug is only for a single speed hamster, the 3 pin plug for the fan is either P/N 893 906 232 or 1HO 906 232 depending on the year of the car the hamster is from. [

Moderatoryou can fit a stronger (stiffer ) front rubber donut
Chris S
ModeratorI agree, please use a rubber coupling on the front of the propshaft as a solid one has been tried many times before and has always caused (expensive) problems, but an awsome build anyway.
