rotten herald Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Bought a Herald Estate off ebay, it has an engine which had been removed, and now is seized, it is a 1200, but recently i was offered a 1500 engine and box(overdrive), where can i get a propshaft to suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 ??) I would have thought Canley Classics would be a good place to start - if they can build a 22 foot long stretched Herald I am sure they can offer some advice and sell you a propshaft that will fit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanne Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 You could also get the propshaft shortened (and balanced) by a firm in your area which does balancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotten herald Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Been told the prop from a 2000,with manual will do, and should be ready balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Seems surprising to me. Surely the 2000 would be too long still? It's worth talking to CC, they certainly sell o/d conversion kits. Good luck anyway, it sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Click here http://www.canleyclassics.com/infodatabase.asp?topic=propshafts for Canley's propshaft page - all lengths catered for! You can have a prop of any length with any combo of fittings - all are about £100 to £150 but that's balanced with new UJs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Oh, excellent ... now i can shorten my GT6 ... i always thought the corporate cut-off was a bit too conservative. I mean who needs the luggage rack and spare wheel anyway :P A real Smart car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 The prop on the Stretch was the single most expensive item in the whole build - we had a little rattle from the gearbox end but the general concensus was that was the gearbox bearing not the prop. To change the Stretch prop, you'd need to remove the body 8)Short GT6 - that would be fun - you wouldn't really need a prop though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
