Four weeks delivery for a stock item
Ah well, good job I wasn't in a rush for it...
That will brace the transfer box and will be built into the eventual bucket / cradle...

A Samurai intermediary prop (gearbox to transfer box)
Compared to the Jimny prop -
Hmmm, 9cm difference (I measured 7cm difference in input flange positions)... that will explain why my previous Jimny needed a 12mm prop spacer

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

You can see in the picture that the "collar" and "shaft" are slightly different meaning it sits slightly different into the gearbox. I would, if possible, do the measurements with it sat into the gearbox front end. I allowed 5mm "end float" in the way it sits into the gearbox when getting the prop length changed.

Thanks
Will do... should have some time off this afternoon (UK time)

At the top is a Saurai intermediary prop, and at the bottom a standard* Jimny one...
The Samurai one is 36cm from the flange to the end of the dust cover
The Jimny one is 46cm for the same measurement
Ref Martin’s cautionary comment, the dust cover and splined connectors are both the same on each prop*
*measurements based on a standard Jimny intermediary propshaft, other models (diesel / R72 etc) may differ?
Hope that helps?!
So we’d have to lose 10cm / 4” out of a standard intermediary prop?
This Samurai seems okay, the UJs are sound (as they usually run in a pretty straight line anyway) so I’m thinking of sacrificing the Jimny one, to cut it “in half” and see if it’s hollow and whether ‘we’ could source seamless tube the right size to make a sleeve to shorten the prop accordingly....

Using 8mm c 45mm cap head bolts with spring washers...
And there’s good scope to fix the spine to a bucket mount yet to be designed (when the jig is made) -

Thats deceptive then in your pictures. There are certainly at least two different length intermediate props on the SJ, a "short" prop and a "long" prop and I have not seen any measurements before to confirm the difference. There are also different intermediate props on the Jimny between the older gearbox and the newer one as well as the autos.
