172 driveshaft needed

[markblack172]

Does anyone know where i can get a drivers side driveshaft for my 172 2000 w reg?
I had it in the air today and it dont seem to wanna stay near the gearbox its sliding down so you can see the splines
there is a pin hole slot in the gearbox but not the shaft
is it the wrong shaft?
any advice or help please!:S

The drivers side doesnt have anything holding it in. Its free to slide off the gearbox shaft. With everything bolted on there shouldnt be any play/sliding on its own though. Unless there was just play because the wheel was jacked up and the suspension was down.

I had both of my shafts re-manufactured at a place in Worcester as the shafts for a ph1 172 are like rocking horse s**t to get hold of.
