Spine finally arrived -

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...

Another day, another parcel...

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

Just a note to let you know that I don't need that manual transfer box Dave, thanks for the kind offer.....

I have managed to sort one in a sideways deal for my R72 stuff....

Thanks again,

sniper

As I am getting all of the pieces together to do the same job (except I was lazy and bought a mount) would you be able to do me a favor Dave? If you still have the Samurai intermediate shaft laying about, would you be able to take a measurement of the overall length?

Thanks

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

Keep an eye on the other end as well.

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.
