SlowAndBroken Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Looking for a pair of E21 half shafts to swap in the LSD without needing to re-drill the flanges. Thanks in advance for any help! Would require shipping to 78363 Kingsville, TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any help! Would require shipping to 78363 Kingsville, TX. You technically only need one single e21 half shaft. The idea is to swap the e21 halfs to the "inner" section of your 2002 halfshaft so your outer 2002 halfshaft still bolts up to the stub axles via stock 8mm bolts while the inner (now e21 section) bolts up to the e21 LSD output shaft via the (standard on e21) 10mm bolts. This set up requires no spacers or drilling and you get to rebuild your half shafts at the same time. A total win and true DIY project with no outsourcing required. Good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowAndBroken Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Danco, thanks for clarifying. I was under the impression that the order was e21 inner section, e21 shaft, then 2002 outer section. Less for me to find so hopefully there’s someone with a single axle out there looking for a new home. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have changed the end result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones02 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ah, yet there are two different 10mm E21 CV joints. The commonly found thin ones from ‘80-83 cars still require spacers. It’s the thicker ‘79 only ones that ro not. There’s a number of old threads on this subject, with at least one by me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibarnes Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Went through this earlier this year, had new 02 and 320 CV’s in the parts stash. I measured axel when complete and needed the spacer so must be late 320 CV’s, used 02 axels. Edited October 24, 2022 by jibarnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTomm17 Posted Wednesday at 01:26 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:26 AM Beautifully done diff unit. A shame to put this under a car. Maybe mount it up front ala Morgan with the V-Twin engine mounted in front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
