New rear axle

Post by stuart3925 »

Hi all,

I'm in the process of fitting a dolomite sprint axel to my minor and want to know what kind of angle the axel needs to be for the prop shaft?

Kind regards
Stuart.

The drive line of the axle must always be parallel to the drive line from the gearbox. You do not 'angle' it in any way. The prop then runs with equal angles at each end.
