182 O/S driveshaft bracket

[Bloooor]

I have a 172 yet it came with the 2 piece 182 driveshaft... Had my gearbox reconned not to long ago and put a second hand shaft in. Upon lifting the car up on ramps to change the tyres we had a quick look around and noticed this...

It looks like a piece of my engine block that connects to the bracket is gone! one of the bolts was missing and the other one had almost fallen out. I'm told there is a third as well but i presume this was still in otherwise i don't think my driveshaft would still be intact.. lol

Has anyone got any recommendations for me? apart from getting a new engine.. maybe just get a 172 1 piece driveshaft and fook off the bracket?

Halp!

Only the ph1 doesn't have that bracket and the bearing btw so should be easy enough to get another. And wheres all the grease come from?

I can only preume it's from when I had the gearbox reconned or I had the cam cover seal done along with a new cambelt and aux belt so it could be left over from that... There was still quite abit of CV grease in one of my wheels but i'm sure they are still intact... Ive checked these plenty of times! I could do with another visit Mr Hughes... I think my exhuast is still slightly blowing too...

Aye just give me a shout can sort something out have a poke around with it. Be nice to see it with a proper working clutch .

I removed my O/S shaft from a 172 Cup (53 plate) and it was one piece?

All the ph2s i've seen are two piece (rs and non), so pass on that one. Might not have been the original shaft? Or it might be a cup thing?

Possibly, who knows, this is Renault after all lol.

172 cup has the 1 piece O/S shaft like the ph1 to save weight.
