RobPearce Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Vitesse propshaft has a sliding spline with about two inches movement, so there's probably an inch of compression available. That's enough for a non-OD Vitesse prop to work OK on a 3-rail OD Herald but not with a single rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpbarrett Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 rather than try to find a good used propshaft I would go for a new one. There is nothing worse than a Herald with an out of balance propshaft...... mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
