Hola. I'm nearing the completion of my e36 gearbox conversion. The box is in, linkage and mount all done etc. Last thing is the prop shaft. I've adjusted the middle nut to make the shaft as short as possible but it's not quite short enough. The prop will fit on but the rubber guibo is too thick by about 8-10 mm ie the shaft is too long. Does anyone know what shaft is slightly shorter than the 320 one I have fitted? Cheers. I forgot to measure the. Length so was hoping someone knows? Ta

Thankyou :) looks like I need a 325 prop then. Don't know why my 325 has a 320 prop fitted though anyway.
