I'd be interested in the measurements of the shortened R72 shaft?

My R72 shaft next to an SJ wish I knew about the different splines first :silly:

I'll swap you my shortened R72 shaft for your decent looking SJ one if you fancy a 0 cost swap? (assuming UK postage costs similar to each other), send me a PM ;-)

I can measure it on friday when next in the garage otherwise...

Certainly started some good conversations going!

Looking back at old photos again...

I can't help but think...

That the bucket / cradle mount almost wants to follow the same lines as the transfer box spine outer edge?

Another question. Regarding the spine, does not integrating the spine with the impact protection create a situation where the transfer case becomes a stress member and is at greater risk than if you were to have it isolated from the protection?

Hmmm... a good point?! I'll think about that when I'm sorting my newspapers out...
