Drive Shafts

The CR uses custom axles produced for Classic Revival.



The custom CR shaft on the left is about 67mm shorter than the original VE HSV GTS shaft on the right.

Ian at Classic Revival carries 2 different spline versions pending which CV type you end up with.

Holden changed shaft spline diameter at some stage.











Comparison, the Black painted Inboard CV is from the VE HSV GTS Cradle Assembly I bought from Dubbo Wreckers.

The Green CV is from a VE SS 6.0L V8







No optical illusions, both sitting on the desk, this is the inner CV cage, VE SS V8 on the top,       VE HSV GTS on the bottom.






To fit the massive GTS CV's the diff had to drop a few mm's by removing the Rear Mounting Bolt
to clear the upper control arm mounting.

Once installed, plenty of clearance allround through suspension movement.
No need to drop diff with standard VE CV's









Clearance on installation is just slightly too tight with the GTS CV's
