89 GT driveshaft size?

Post by MacColl »

As title what size are the drive shafts on my 1989 EX 1.8 carbed GT?

90mm or 100mm? Looking at buying drive flange seals and I'm not near the car.

Any confirming data anywhere? apologies if the info is obvious :bye:

I'm currently re-furbing my 1989 GTII EX Carb 1.8 8v so can measure them tonight if you still need to know.

Presumably I'm measuring the drive shaft flange diameter at the road wheel end.
Is that light at the end of the tunnel or a train coming the other way?

I'll actually be at my rocco tonight so can check but I'd be interested anyway because yours is a gt2 and mine is a GT from the same year? I have shafts from an 85 gti that I can compare also.

Going by guide on that broke status site it's actually the inner shafts.

Thanks
