HD Halfshafts and CV's

KAM have not been taken over, Kevin still runs the business...

Allmakes have invested in KAM effectively starting a partnership...

I stand corrected the quafe partnership fell on it's arse and allmakes came in I have just been reliably informed/corrected.
I hope the front shafts are better than the rears with there inherent design fault !
IMO and I stress IMO the kam lockers are not a great design, the idea is good but they still need developing some more.
If you have an arb already in the front then it's only a case of changing the side gears for rear ones for the 26 spline shafts. And you can buy them separately from arb dealers.
Arb are a much better design for a few reasons but still not without some problems.
Maybe Ashcroft should take a look at jimnys lol

Funny Rockwatt you should say about Ashcrofts -something I have thought before. I have known Ian and David for many years and they are excellent guys. Problem for them I suppose is that Jinmnys are inheritently more reliable than their normal fare and therefore not as profitable!
Be good though if they developed their locker/shafts etc for Jimnys.

Ashcroft's CV's and shafts are made in the USA, I'll not name the company who manufacture them for them, but I expect Richard already knows...

I have install in my jimny these

these are 22spline cv's and axle shafts from subaru forester and another car that i dont remember.
With 31 and original 22spline arb for 3 months now and everything is ok.
I have my teamate, who has came up with this patent, using it at his car with 32'' for over a year now and
also had no problem abussing his front diff with arb 22spline also.
The cost was total 200E, for cv's and axle shafts.

I don't think he has the patent on this as rhino ray fitted them cv's in an Sj about 8 years ago and he
had quafe make the shafts to suit.
And I ran them in my old tin top Sj 6 years ago so I don't think patent would be possible. There is also a company making shafts and using cv's from another vehicle but I'll keep that one to myself as there even better suited than the scuby cv's


Rob are you talking about those cv's that are suplied from the us (but made in Germany and err Manchester ) so there shipped out then back again.
A bit like a certain set of crawler gears that are made in India then shipped to the states and then to here !!! You couldn't make it up could you.
Ask me how I know :lol: I won't post it up on here but you have my number. and
