    drive shaft lengths ??

    Does anyone have a list of different drive shaft lengths? I am looking for something that will work in this S52 e21 I am building. I found a combo of e30 front and rear e30 shafts that work but the front flange is too small (smaller guibo). So before I get the revshift guibo I wanted to look for other options.

    Looking for overall length as well as front and rear sections.

    thanks

      Which e30...I do not. I actually think it might be from an m42 e36. Not 100% sure tho.

      More need a bigger front flanged shaft from a ZF trans e36. Need the overall driveshaft to be around 57.75" long

        Realoem shows the overall driveshaft lengths. The big guibo e30 shows 1483mm

          I need the front and rear lengths separate as well.

            I got a big flange E30 driveshaft and had the prop shaft lengthened to the correct amount. Cost was cheap to do it, $75 from sb-driveline.us. There was no off the shelf combo that worked for my application.

            Use an E36 driveshaft and have it cut to length :)

              That's what I am planning to do. Or graft the e36 flange on the e21 shaft.
