Default Re: T5 to early Ford rear end.

Hi all, especially Pete.
I hope this forum is still open.
Pete if you occasionally read this thread, I'd really like to know the Spicer part numbers.
All I get here in Australia are blank looks from the Dana Spicer official agents.
Your T5 to T Tube looks fantastic.
I'd like to try.
Regards
Glyn

Hi Glyn,
All I can suggest on finding the yokes is to contact a Spicer dealer in the USA and give them the exact dimensions of the spline shafts you want to match up to. They have catalogs with engineering dimensions in them.
Finding the end for the transmission should be no problem.
The rear yoke could be the same by adapting the proper spline stub to the driveline.
That may be the most practical way.

Glyn Farrell... If you go to a driveshaft specialist they will sort the universals no problem. I did mine on the phone, just told him what trans etc. Worked perfectly. There are firms who do nothing but driveshafts, they are the ones to deal with, because they know this stuff inside out and backwards.

Far too often we get so deep into theoretical analyses that are very precise, yet never materialize in the real world. It keeps us from experimenting too often. We're not building 250,000 mile machines with lifetime warranties. There are times to be a bit OCD and other times to let small things get by. I applaud your approach!
