hi new to the site just wondered if this is any helpto anybody. i have found a shaft that might be usable for wide tracking a 306. the shafts are from a dispacth van. the lenghts are 675 and 965 the 306 ones are 635 and 925. these aren't perfect measurments as only had an old tape. the only problem i can see is they are the smaller diameter shaft like the small engined pugs. does anybody have any more info that could help? cheers james

but 406 ones aren't as long as the dispatch ones. the short shaft is only about 15mm longer than 306. am i right in saying the smaller dia shafts are solid?

they are from a dispatch 1.9turbo diesel. so they should be strong enough. not sure how much torque they would take. i know some one on here produces the kit to wide track the rear but can't remember who.

dispatch/expert same thing

has to be from a BE box though, the ML gearbox has different splines.

shortening them is a doddle if they're the larger type as they are hollow.

they are from the van. it does have a BE box and i've checked them in a pug diesel box. got a good friend that works at a french scrap yard so get to play with a few bits so always help full. would be nice if we could get a wide track setup without having to pay dimma silly prices. forgot to check the shafts fit a 306 hub but they did look the same.

only stripped the front down so its without its grill and fogs really and taken a few measurements. thinking about blending the very bottom of a phase 2 SP bumper on. just the low vents. was going to sell it but would rather have a lush looking bumper for myself. has anyone got a good pic off just one end of rear bumper taken so i can see what lines to follow.

I thought about getting a ph3 bumper, splitting it in the middle and just adding some in the centre, but i also thought that the edge of the bumper maybe a little off, as the dimmer bumper curves alot more, asif the bumper has been stretched
