Tim2cv wrote: what are these? 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? |

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 |

anyone have an idea where used ami super shafts can be re-conditioned? I have tried www.driveshaftuk.com but no good. Quote: Replace with rebuilt Ami Super shafts. They're available, but expensive and poor quality. 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! |
