Driveshaft length

[nick rogers]

I'm asking for a favour. I need to know the length from spline to spline of pre-pot joint non-S driveshafts. I have 4 different ones which means that I have mixed up ADO16 ones with Mini ones. I know that the long Mini one is close in length to the short ADO16 one. A friend in the USA, and contributor to this board, has asked me for some Mini ones. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Nick . I only have a short one Handy and that is 320mm or i would say 12 3/4 inch, If you know the difference between the short and long then you can work it out, hope that helps ,some one on hear should have one handy to measure,

Standard rubber coupling short shaft 12.75" or 323.8mm
Standard rubber coupling long shaft 15..75" or 400 mm
This is the overall length of the shafts.
The Hardy Spicer shafts with the raised 'bump' come out at :-
12.625" [ 320.6mm] short shaft and 15.625" [396.8mm]for the long one.

Goff and Bob: Many thanks to you both. I will now go and sort out my collection of shafts.

With the above info from Goff and Bob I can now add the following: ADO16 shafts are 15.375" and 17.375".
So it is possible that the short one would be OK as a Mini long one without it pulling out, 3/8" is not too different.However, I will now keep my Mini ones separate from the ADO16 ones.
