Re: Square tube drive shafts?

So it looks like you are using 2" X .25 wall for the outer tube and 1.5" x .25 wall for the inner slip peice is that right?

Big piece(reciever) = 2.5" O.D./2" I.D. x .25" wall.
Little piece(giver:D) = 2" O.D./1.5" I.D. x .25" wall.

Picture story "for dummies" follows:

Driveshaft, tubing, and a big griding wheel.


Make sure when you cut that the shortest your driveshaft can get is not shorter than original to ensure it won't slam the Tcase.
Cutting done.


Big to big, little to little.


I tried to leave as much metal as possible to fit perfect to the square.


This made the griding wheel go from big to small.


Welded, painted, and set out of dry.


Complete, plenty of travel, and at it's shortest - it is not shorter than the stock version.
