Comparing 360 to 340!!

Post by **340GLT** » 07 Nov 2005 10:20 pm

Hi a quick question for those in the know!! Does anyone know if there is a differance between 60 and 40 drive shafts? Are the 60 ones any thicker?
Also can anyone clarify whether or not GLT springs are different? (Leaf springs) as i believe they are but have no guarantees!!
Cheers Adam

The drive shaft of a 360 is encased in a torque tube, 340's run normal shafts.

Driveshafts not propshafts

ah, half shafts should be the same but can't confirm.

I'm running with 360 drive shafts becouse the gaiters on my orriginals were split. They do feel a bit heavier but the od is the same. The thing I like about the 360 drive shafts is the bolts that came with them, 10mm head bolts not hex keys.

rear leafs have different part numbers in VADIS, but no different specs in the green book.

hi i have some spec
the length is different up to 1980 and 1980 onwards
up to 1980 is 1260mm from 1980 is 1250mm
also they are colour coded but i have no reference to what code is what
but all this aside i do think that glt are stronger and lower

I take it this question was thinking ahead for a little engine swap.
The drive shafts should be ok for the power and the prop should be ok as long as you dont take off hard. I do have a plan on how to fix the problem with the prop.
