Differance between GT6 and Vitesse prop shaft

[Peter Charlton]

Hi, I have purchased an D type overdrive with G/box mainshaft and a propshaft to convert my Mk1 Vitesse to overdrive. The parts came from a GT6.

I note the overdrive propshaft has a different part number  for GT6 and Vitesse, can anybody tell me what the difference is please?

Vitesse needs a longer prop.

Try Dave Mac propshafts, often worth getting a new one unless you stumble across a definitely good used one.

This Canleys page has a list of possible issues, but also all the lengths for each car

Thanks for that Clive, 8 inches, that's quite a difference!
