When I first read this Rod I thought you were referring to the main shafts which are different but the same length and interchangeableQuote:

will hunt for some 1 3/8" ID tube to sleeve and extend one of the shorter tubes

Paul if that blue motor is a 3.3 they are a very good donk, plenty of torque a they have a 6kg heavier bottom
end than the red 202, plus a 12 port head. Check out your conversions and see which one has the heaviest
flywheel and hopefully takes a Land Rover 9.5 clutch and use it when you put it all back together.
As standard a blue 3.3 runs a 2kg lighter flywheel than a red motor. The heaviest is best for your application.
Cheers, Mick.
Creating a series 2a column from a series 3........and no its not in the manual [bigwhistle]
Attachment 145585series 3 column tube shorter than 2a
Attachment 145586 cut and sleeve
Attachment 145587 Attachment 145588 welded
Attachment 145589 Attachment 145590 while I was at it blanked all series3 slots and holes

Did some front axle examinations on my series 3 donor today and found
Attachment 145847 Attachment 145848 I'm assuming I'm up for a new drive shaft or is this OK
Attachment 145849 whatever happened in the past damaged inside of swivel ball as well.....I did notice spring clip thingo on the inside of the hub wasn't seated when I disassembled this side (drivers) perhaps the axle slid out of the diff a bit because of this and uni flogged against inside of swivel ball
Attachment 145850 are these unis OK there is no sideways movement I assume centrifugal force keeps the rollers in correct position
Attachment 145851 I wanted to use this axle assembly in my blue Holden rebuild as its got more splines and beefier shafts
Attachment 145852 damage to diff bolt or stud surprisingly on the top of the diff
Attachment 145853 swivel balls in good nick but no steering stops either side
Cheers Paul
The notches on the universal yoke are of no concern provided the cup is held properly. There is not much clearance, and it has probably been run with flogged out U-joint, or possibly had a foreign object in there at some time.
Universal joints usual have cork seals in the caps & they would keep the rollers in place.
