Driveshaft problems!
Ive just fitted my rebuilt gearbox with an uprated "ricardo" atb differential, got everything back together and the driveshafts don't fit in the diff. They are too small and the teeth don't interlock. So does anyone know what inner CV joints have bigger teeth than the stock ones?

You should ask "ricardo" (or whomever supplied the diff) should know what fits.

Quaife ATB is also 28mm...
I think you are maybe running a 1.3 gearbox and shafts as IIRC they are smaller?!

The Quaife diagram must be showing the aperture size not the splines I guess?!

No they won't, or you would'nt have to cut and shut shafts to run a MTX box I imagine?!
