Torque tube dia. on B200??

Post by Nimminz »

After the diameter of the torque tube ( i think )

The part which houses the propeller shaft that this exhaust bracket clamps round (blue):

I need a new one of those brackets but cant find any about and need it rather urgently before i wreck my new exhaust. So i'm going to get an exhaust clamp that size then weld a sheet to the back and drill the holes out to mount the centrebox to make a replacement.

Cheers,
Matt

I have my torque tube in the car atm mate, gonna dump it in my lockup after the Superbowl (first time watcher - dunno why I bothered lol! It's a laugh with mates though and the half time show was awesome.... :lol:

I will measure it if I have a tape handy. Failing that, just get under yours with some calipers? I measured mine a while ago for the exact same reason but have forgotten the dia. 140mm or something. :lol:

cheers mate,

I would lie under the car and measure it but at the moment i have no-where to do it apart from picknic areas and the college carpark. (where the car is kept overnight is muddy and you have to pay the council to park your own car outside your own house :shock: Oh and i have no calipers, but i coul always measure the circumference with a tape measure and divide it by 'pi' to get diameter.

Failing that i'll get some stiff wire and wrap it round to get the shape and take it to the shop and compare to all the exhaust clamps lol
