Re: Conversion of D type axle to Carden shaft type driveshaft

John Newell
Thanks Steve.
Useful to know at this late stage...

And any answers to the query about controlling pinion endfloat? Does the location of the flange on the pinion taper play a part in this?

I know I could look in books to find this. They are however all in a storage unit, as I'm getting ready to finally get the earthquake insurance repairs done on my house. Yes, it is nearly 6 years since the 1st of our quakes. How the system works! And they've been knocking them out too!


No. In the D type axle it's the AC bearings in the nose that control pinion end float (they are held in place with that big LH nut)

Great news, thanks Charles.

Hopefully the pinion taper angle did not change from early to late type?

Pretty certain that it didn't.
Austin used the same tooling, threads and set ups for decades
