RB5 Vega Drive shaft issue

[jackeltrader]

Hi Guys,
I'm just putting the finishing touches to my vega conversion, however I have noticed the drive shafts are pretty much sitting at the very edge of the outdrives. I presume I need longer shafts or dog bones but cannot work out which I require. I have used an RB5 SP to do the conversion but not sure which shaft set I currently have or which I need to allow full droop without the drive shafts falling out?!?
Be grateful for any ideas or if you have encountered the same issue.
Thanks,
Craig

i built mine with the sp2 kit and its the same,not sure if the sp drive shafts are shorter,i think its the silver ones that are,iv never had one pop out,if its a problem just screw the shock bottoms in half or a full turn,then hit the track and smile

Thanks for that mate, when you say screw the shock in ....which bit do you mean, the bottom of the shock shaft which attaches to the wishbone??

yeah just like when you build them,hold the shock shaft and screw the part that attatches to the arm part in

Lengths are printed on drive shafts I believe

Only on the very latest shafts Mikey.

The SP & SP2 had the same 65.5mm shafts .. these are the longest ones.
There should be no issue with them at all.

Ok cheers for info re not all having lengths on them

Yup that's the lengths I have on the car and my spare NIP ones, which are printed.
