SpitFire6 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi, I have the Canley Classic rear end setup. My inner CV's have wear. I have emailed Dave as online they have no stock. I believe they are prop-shaft CV's. Anybody have source of 2 CV's that don't cost 600 quid+ Any help appreciated. Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 there many suppliers its knowing what they were based on is the sherlock mode https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/autoparts-manufacturer Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I believe one end of the original Canley kit used Triumph 1300 FWD CV joints. Don't know if that was the inner or outer end but I bet those particular CVs are getting rare. There are two new 1300 CVs on eBay right now.

Nigel Clark Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Actually, looking at the shape of the 1300 CVs, they would have to be on the outer end of the GT6 shaft conversion. I've heard the other CVs (inner) were from Volkswagen Audi application. That may just be rumour, and I've no idea which VAG vehicle they were supposed to come from. There must be someone around who knows for sure. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob (Someone with a rotoflext mk2 GT6 contemplating this upgrade) The Canley CV conversion was one of the first, if not the first to market. Currently available CV conversions are based on modern joints. Does that make them longer lasting? Time will tell but I'm confident the currently available CV shafts will out last Rotoflex couplings.

thescrapman Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Pretty sure outer one is 1500 fwd, not 1300, which has a rubber doughnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Had a couple of 1500FWD, probably still got bits, used the same doughnuts as Vitesse Mk2 and some marks of GT6. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 CC conversion uses 1500 FWD CVs for outer joints (1300 are smaller). Inner joints are the pot joints that were used on some propshafts. The ones I know of are 1500 Spit, Dolly Sprint and maybe TR7. Could be others also. Likely were made by GKN but I have no idea whether any similar has been made in the last 40 years.

SpitFire6 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Hi everybody, Thanks for your help. Dave @ CC has just emailed me a link to a source. Around £60 each which is perfect! Let me secure a couple & then I will post the link here. I need to be sure a get two of them! Thanks, Iain. PS. Sorry- £60 a pair.

I doubt you will get a 2CV for £600 quid Iain Tony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I ordered two & then found out there is a cv on each end. So I have a spare set now. They have lasted 10 years & only being replaced as there is some wear. Probably good for another couple of years. They certainly have lasted longer than UJ's & half shafts! There was some knocking from the back that was caused by somebody fitting screws to the input diff flange. No damage just needed correct size bolts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Glad to hear you've found replacement CVs. Interesting to find out exactly what joints went into the Canley shafts. Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
