Drive Shaft Pins!, Help Iv Lost Them!

[Headling 0]

Hi guys, just getting my engine bay ready for the 2.0 8v turbo engine and have lost the drive shaft pins whilst i was pushing it around fitting the cage!

 

To explain they are the little silver roll pins that fit inside the drive shaft and they have a silver sleve that slide over the top then this fits inside the drive cup on the gear box. I hope you get what i mean!!

 

oh yeay they are 1.9 drive shafts.

 

Does any one know where to get these pins? i need enough for 1 x drive shaft. If you have any PM me.

 

cheers in advance!

do you mean the needle roller bearings from the tripod joint? new driveshaft time unfortunately

i have some spare if you need them, they came from a good set of 1.9 shafts so should bo ok to use, unless they need to be matched to the shaft?!

yeah its the needle roller bearings, i would have thought you could get hold of these but maybe im wrong!

 

Boldy 205, thanks for the offer, i'll pm you, I need enough for 1 x drive shaft so if anyone else can help me out that would be great!

Get down the scrappy and split a shaft - remove the whole tripod bearing (circlip at end of shaft on most) saves a lot of fiddling around. IIRC there are 99 needle rollers, 33 per bearing. (guess who's re-assembled a few)

is there any other pugs that use the same tripod bearing? there is not any gti's at my local scrappy! there is a load of 306/406/106 there if they will do?

I know for definate that Gti-6 shafts use the same needle rollers as 1.9 205's, so if GTi-6's use the same shafts as other 306's you can use them no problem.

any XU shaft should do the trick, TU shafts are smaller
