My experience with my Dyane -3cm/a wheel was :
- no difference on the road
- turning radius a bit big in some very old french center town ( ) and in underground parking ! _________________ www.super2cv.com |

I reach top speed on the speedometer in my 3 wheeler (160 km/h, which must be around 140 real km/h)

And you don't even show a picture of your "toy" as you said when you bought it...
You were so happy ! Remember, I took this pic of you last year in Swiss when you finally drive it back home...

That's not a three wheeler, Etienne, it's a trike ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

When you narrow the front what happens to the driveshafts?
Do you have to narrow those also? _________________ Lowering the tone since 1983 |

Interesting point.
I know it's possible to mix driveshafts as there was a long inner/short outer and a short inner/long outer combinations. If you mixed them and had short/short they will drop apart when the wheel is fully down, and if you had long/long they would prevent the wheel from going fully up. (and probably bugger the diff?)
If you're running low, then I'd imagine you're unlikely to have problems using a mix of short outer and short inner, espescially if you have narrowed the front axle, although i guess you make sure the front arm runs through its full movement with no problems beforehand, if it doesn't, then I can't see why you can't simply take a couple of cm off the splined end of the outer shaft?
Again, only guessing here, as I've never tried it. _________________

On my ex-Dyane I just took off 3 cm of the male part of the driveshaft. _________________ www.super2cv.com |
