They're Ami Super driveshafts. They're made of chocolate. They're the same as G shafts, but shorter. They really don't like the greater suspension travel of A-series suspension much, and the 2cv joints die, together with the triaxes.

You've got four basic options.
- Replace with used Ami Super shafts. They're rocking horse.
- Replace with rebuilt Ami Super shafts. They're available, but expensive and poor quality. Don't ask where from, don't know, don't care.
- Rebuild with early G shaft triax and 2cv. They're about, but they're 35 yrs old.
- Replace with 2cv shafts. They take the power - possibly better than Super - and just need an adapter plate machining up at the 'box end. Well within your capabilities, mate.

I have a new G shaft in my garage. Bought it 20 odd years ago as a spare and never used it. Might that be of interest to you?

cheers. I suspect if one is wrecked the other wont be far away! will look into adapters and 2cv shafts i think. best way. get a load made up!

I'll have a pair.

is it the same as in the pics? Might be tempted to take you up on the offer, what you want for it? will keep me on the road a little longer until i can find non-soft alternative!

thanks

TIM

i also have one brand new boxed ami super shaft.

Hi
Im new to the forum and would have 2 pairs of adapters if you did have some made up.They are available from Holland but are very expensive!!
Cheers

anyone have an idea where used ami super shafts can be re-conditioned? I have tried www.driveshaftuk.com but no good.



where from? I can manage poor quality!

How hard is it to find 2cv's that will fit to be DIY repaired? I had a look on the web but no joy yet.

someone help please!
