Hi Guys

Can anyone tell me the length of the propshaft used when fitting a type 9 box please?

Thanks

Even if you have a prop to suit a marina axle it would be useful to know the length ;)

Its always better to measure the length between the end casing of the box and the front face of the diff flange, rather than go for a general length. Anything under 20mm free play is too little and over 25mm too much.

I know... however I need to do the job as quickly as possible and sticking it all together less the prop will leave me with an unuseable car for too long a period. Ie. it will need to be done over a weekend

Im looking for the length
