Dave's 20vT Mk2

[thai-wronghorse]

Rear axle, wiring loom, fmic, engine hoist, bottle jack...contrast? Boy that was fun!

[Dave_IOW]

Polybushed crossmember back in, also engine, with gearbox to ponder over shafts.



02J shaft trial fit, just for sh!ts and giggles, too long.

02A cups fitted, 02A shafts fit.



Temporary wheels fitted.

this poor car wont know whats hit it if the worst happens

So it's mk3 shafts after all.    I assume it's wide track.

If you had any actual experience to hand instead of speculation you'd know that the long shaft was far too long - the strength of the shaft was not the issue.  If Dear Brad had been running them it's a mystery how he was, as it must have been a good 50mm too long to allow the lower ball joint to even be secured. 

I assume it's wide track.

Yes.

Obviously doing something wrong then dear Damon!

MK3 shafts are needed. Not 02J which are longer.

Do some research. There's a whole thread dedicated to it.  Here i'll help.

Do some research. There's a whole thread dedicated to it.

Unfortunately due to the unique and moronic way in which other Golf forums work, which mostly involves shoving your head as far up Chris Eyre's arse as possible that thread says nothing about 02J threads, even when Dear Brad asked.

Now Dave and I did our research, practically by test-fitting the 02J shafts but Dear Brad just asked on Chris Eyre's numpty fest.

So, we know through experience that 02J shafts don't fit.

You've said apparently Dear Brad has snapped one, yet I contend he could not have snapped one as they don't fit on a Golf3 wide-track set up, because they're too long.

I think you'll find we're doing enough research ourselves, why don't you run back to shove your head back into somewhere Chris shines his strange light from?

Come on now Damon! Grow up a bit. Is that why you got your boy to ask the question? Still angry about not being allowed on that forum?

The driveshaft was fitted to brads car and it snapped at the CV. Because you didnt do it it must mean its false? Maybe you're not man enough eh?
Infact, I do feel sorry for ya, cos i know you're one ugly cnut and it looks like you've had your head somewhere where it shouldn't be?  No wonder you wanna be like Damon Hill!

Tada

[Diamond Hell]

Oh dear.

You smell of dog food.

Here's the thing - I do not see how the long G4 shaft could have possibly fitted to Dear Brad's car, because it is SO much too long - it simply does not fit.  Maybe Dear Brad can confirm.

No, I didn't ask Dave to ask the question - he's quite autonomous, although does ALLAN! from time to time.

And no, I'm delighted I'm not on that other forum, because it means no one's snooping through my PMs or doing anything else nefarious, as has been alleged by various people.

Maybe you should find out why I'm not on that forum?

[tshirt2k]

Did you actually read what was said? Or were you too busy licking you're own arse?

He said the LONG driveshaft D.I.D'N.T fit! I repeat, the LONG driveshaft D.I.D'N.T fit!

He fitted the short one and the CV joint snapped. 

use mk3 gti shafts, mk4 fits on passenger side but is too long on drivers side
