1.8 vs 1.6 propshaft
Hi,
I want to add a 1.8 diff to my car at some point but its a kit car and I will need to shorten the prop-shaft to fit if I use my existing 1.6 prop or a replacement 1.8 prop so my question was, is the 1.8 prop-shaft the same as the 1.6 prop-shaft in all but length? If it is I may as well shorten the one I already have rather than buy another one and have to shorten it anyway.
Cheers

When I bought a 1.8 diff swap from hustler way back in the day the driveshaft he gave me was from an automatic car and didnt fit into the 5-speed tranny. Fortunately he had another one that worked and brought it to my house and touched me.
So heads up about the auto vs 5-speed difference, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem in the UK (autos dont exist there). I used to have a picture of it somewhere...
