Anyone Ever Had A Go At Fitting 306 Gti6 Driveshafts?

[maxi 36 1 Cars]

I was servicing my 306 the other day and noticed that the shafts are substantial to say the least. I just wondered if anyone had ever attempted to have a pair shortened and fitted them onto a 205?

 

I might get hold of a 2nd hand set and give it a whirl, any input/ideas???

They'd be hollow if they are large diameter, not 306 shafts I know but Hilgie has done similar with 406 shafts and they're even fatter

 

they wont need much removing especially if neg camber arms are used.

I dont use negative camber arms, especially on road cars. They drive s*ite. I think the best thing to do is go and get a paur of second hand ones and see what happens.....

they will be stronger than 205 ones as having the hollow centre actually makes them stronger, i have a set of used ones if you wanna try a set

yeah look much stronger, but aren't they too long for a 205 in standard form?

I've got 3 sets sitting in my garage mate that i can't shift. Next time your up the M1, give us a shout and you can meet me at Northampton.

 

Certinly worth playing around with.

Colin shortens these and 406 TD ones for the competition 205s. The 406 ones are bullet proof, even with Avon's softest slicks.
