williams/16v/r19 passenger driveshafts

[Fred@BTM]

anyone got a picture or know the overall lengths of all 3?

ie which is the longest

 

[T.Trophy]

try Andrew Cooke mate, he looked at loads when he was trying to sort out his f4r twingo

 

[Russ_16v]

Im pretty sure the Willy and 19 shafts are same size, i think both are longer than 16v

 

[Fred@BTM]

i have a werid problem with a williams i have it popping its driveshaft out of the diff on the passenger side, i think its due to it having the wrong driveshaft, the one i've been supplied is cira 635mm long, anyone know if that's right?

 

[geesus69]

i can measure my 16v one tonight

then if it's different i can measure my williams one at the weekend? (unless i'm over at the garage one night)

I've got all the lengths if you need them, but it depends where you're measuring. But yes, 16V is shortest, then Williams, then R19 16V. It's possible you have a 16V shaft in there. Did you check the plunge with the R19 shaft as it may be a bit tight.

I dont really use facebook Fred, just got your message now lol.

I would only have told you what Jay S has though so be reeeeet.

yeah its fine, i had a brand new williams shaft fitted and the tri lobe bearing was sticking out the top of the diff! bizare!

it is, almost sounds like they gave you a renault 5 one. btw, do you have a source for quality 172 CVs, GKN or whatever. I can't really go to renault for a shaft as I have a Williams shaft with a 172 CV fitted.

these are the figures I found:

lengths are Left - right, in mm

R5 GTT 595 - 690
Clio 16V 605 - 705
Clio Williams 620 - 720
Clio Sport 639 - 734
R19 16V 640 - 740
Twingo I 625 - 750

not sure what was actually measured, but they're from the same listing, so should be OK relative to each other.


I also got this for the bare Williams bar from Giulio Dialti at Bacci Trasmissioni

"The requested important measure, that you are asking for (between the 2 circlip seats), is 480,5 mm and the full lenght of the drive shaft is 512 mm.
The wheel side spline, for the Clio Williams original CV joint, is with 25 teeth and with an external diameter of 27,3 mm."
