Thread: S1 propshaft & tailshaft

hi all, just wondering whether or not the front and rear propshaft & tailshaft on a S1 LR are interchangeable. Upon removal i did not mark which was which and appear to be the same length, so does it matter which goes where ? I have no way of knowing which is the prop or tailshaft. thanks in advance

Also need to source some new tyres - old tyres are 16 inch x 600. Want to go to the 7.50 x 16 but not sure of the width of the tyre when shopping around. What are the proper dimensions for these tyres eg 7.50 x 16 x ?

Imperial tyres dont specify a width. just 600 x 16 700 x 16 or 7.50 x 16.
If you have the 2 litre engine I probably wouldnt go for the 7.50.
I bought the 700 x 16 for $160 each and they go well.

Yes they do........that's what the 600 is eg 6", 700 is 7" and 7.5 is just that 7.5"
