:eek: angle o that propshaft looks a bit errrrm sevre :rolleyes: or is it just angle on the pic

[Borg]

Its the pic, it has an offset diff

It's nothing to be ashamed of, looks quite well though out, looking forward to seeing the finished product. :D John

Angle of axle is wrong, you need to have it in line with the prop shaft.
Straight line from flange to prop, not worried about angle of prop to engine, axle angle needs to be lifted up so that the prop is an extention of the pinion, if not will cause a lot of noise and wear in the u.j's.

[Borg]

Can't be changed and it works OK, the UJs are quite straight I think its the photo that throws it out

[odie]

Its the angle of the axle, not the prop.
Its a common mistake people make, i used to do it the way yours is till i was shown how much power you lose due to torsion!

[Borg]

Still cant be changed, the maker of the frame welded it in place :(

bugger, pity, what ratio does it have?
