are 172 and 182 driveshaft the same?

[pug_92]

i know the hub spacing is different and the track is slightly wider? but are the driveshafts different?

bought a 182 manifold and the guy sent me a spare driveshaft FOC for taking so long with postage.

cheers

From memory, yes, they are different.

 

[Gray]

[pug_92]

oh well cheers chaps

I've got a Ph1 172 N/S driveshaft.. PM me if it's any use..

 

[sideways danny]

5 different shafts, variety of differences between them all, including length and center bearing (or lack of)

One from the past but, which shafts have the centre bearing? All 182's?

 

[Cupman29]

Anyone know if any driveshaft with a centre bearing will fit a 172 cup and if so which one?

 

[Fred@BTM]

172 cup fits 172 cup

youu could try a phs2 172 item if you want a centre bearing, why may i ask?

 

[Cupman29]

Driveshaft gaiter hits my oil return to sump connection and I think the centre bearing shafts would clear it.

cup packed 182. You'll need the carrier though

Cheers Danny, there is only 1 type of carrier I guess?

 

[Dan519]

yes, carrier that bolts to the block is the same on all ph2s 172/182 (except 172 cup)

 

[Cupman29]

Why was the 172 cup different?

But thanks again mate!

 

[Cupman29]

cup packed 182. You'll need the carrier though

Is there any difference between a cup packed FF 182 and a 182 cup?

Been offered a shaft with the carrier and it looks like it will do the job of clearing my oil return to the sump but not sure if there is any difference in length or anything else that stops it fitting straight on my 172 cup hubs.

Any help to confirm appreciated!

 

[Dan519]

cup and cup packed are the same. I've done that exact conversion on a big power build. It's still working 100% over 3 years later to my knowledge

 

[Cupman29]

Thanks again Danny!

Just one more question, what about a non cup 182, do they use the same shaft and would they fit?

I think the shaft might be from a non cup 182.

 

[Dan519]

no, non cupped ones are different

 

[Cupman29]

Different length?

As the pic shows the centre carrier.

 

[Dan519]

yes different length (have i typed that enought times yet?)

you need cup packed to achieve what you want. NOTHING else will work. End

 

[Cupman29]

Lol, got you!
