Martin. Thanks for your info too. The truth is that I was only looking for the overall length of the SJ shaft so that I could confirm authenticity when I purchase one here. In the Philippines the surplus part vendors will sell parts from SJ410s, SJ413s, JA11s along with a host of other Suzuki flavors and tell you that it is what you are looking for. The fact that there are (at least) 2 SJ shaft lengths will make it more difficult. At least having that knowledge will help my search.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

When you have your transfer case in position, would you take a measurement from the transmission output to the transfer case input shaft flange. If you can get that, later, and with your permission, I will add the same dimension for an auto transmission. At least I will after I finally get all of the parts I need. Hopefully the information will be useful to people who find this thread later.

Its not a great issue, spacers etc. can sort that. I was just pointing it out.zukebob wrote: . The fact that there are (at least) 2 SJ shaft lengths will make it more difficult. .
However, if you are offered parts from early SJ410 then these have "skinny" props, probably from the LJ Series, I would avoid these if possible. They are very thin.

This was the Samurai intermediary prop with a 12mm prop spacer added, and that's the gap left...

I started by disappearing under the buggy to measure it's intermediary shaft as Martin had got me worried especially as my donor Jimny is an old X reg model of 2000 vintage... all ok though, it's 46cm as measured previously...
So I took the Jimny intermediary prop I got from James... marked the middle of it, and then measure 4cm back on either end, to remove a 8cm section, and gingerlly cut one of the lines I had marked... hoping props are hollow?...
Yup, as hoped made of tube
Which is 32mm ID (Internal Diameter)...
Onto eBay and start searching for a tube sleeve insert... I found a couple of sellers but both had the message to say they were away and not processing orders immediately (impatient me!) but then I found good old Tom "pipe-bender" had pieces listed of the right size So I ordered the minimum length of 50cm, even though I only need about 16cm... it's 31.75mm diameter (imperial 1.5") and~2mm wall, so should slide nice and tight into the inside of the prop tube (which is 32mm)
So...
Cut the prop to length... about 8cm shorter, so it's a bit longer than the Samurai prop, to save running a spacer in it
And then drilled four holes in both halves of the prop and bevelled the edges ready for welding up when the insert tube sleeve arrives hopefully before the weekend... I paid an extra £3 delivery for a 24 hour courier...
Inserting the sleeve will keep the prop perfectly straight, allow me to puddle weld through the holes onto the sleeve inside, and I'm hoping it won't need re-balancing as a result...?
Then grind the welds "flat" (or slightly rounded actually!) and repaint the middle of the prop... sorted!

Here we call the early 410 1984,5 as later they have the same bolt pattern as the 413. But the 4speed 410 transmission is most likely shorter than the 5speed 413 transmission so that is why there is two lenghts i guess.mlines wrote:

Never seen a 413 int shaft with worn joints by the way. I got loads of them, they never sell. No front or rear shafts left. From 7 or 8 broken SJ's.
I could stack all my int shafts up and take a picture and measure i guess.
Loved the swap deals done up in this thread by the way, beatiful!

Sj410 the top one. No excact measurements.
Guess i could sell a few.. But International shipping from Norway is outrageous prices. Your commonwealth and something to do with old agreements is the reason for British mail order.

I'd be interested in the measurements of the shortened R72 shaft?Riccy wrote: Ive got a shortened intermediary prop for an R72 gearbox to your welcome to, but it will have the wrong spline count on the gearbox end of it. Might be possible to swap over the UJs to get it right
My R72 shaft next to an SJ wish I knew about the different splines first
