Hi i am realy curious to know how this shaft assembly is holding during a race
as here in the Netherlands one person also made one but with the result of several crankshaft failiours
i think due to misalighnment
At the moment i am building a Giulietta 116 series racecar
with a 2.0 TS race engine
here in Holland we modify the driveshats to use the BMW M5 donuts

I am going to try to attach a photo of an M5 flex... and here is a link showing the M5 flex compared to its smaller siblings. I am also interested in what modifications are necessary.Topspeed wrote:...here in Holland we modify the driveshats to use the BMW M5 donuts

That was easy. I also saw a photo in a trade magazine of a Prius flex coupling. The design is very interesting! It is a flat machined plate with 6 bushings pressed in.Carter Hendricks wrote:I am going to try to attach a photo of an M5 flex...

I think so. The photo is of a Previa coupling used for the shaft that runs forward from the hidden engine to the ancillaries in front. For another view of the design there is a nice photo on an ebay auction [number 8002272745] which I'll post below. The interesting idea is that the aluminum disc will provide mechanical strength and failsafe alignment while the bushing design can be selected to allow misalignment. I don't think this design would be happy with gross misalignment...Micke wrote:That's a neat design. Should be easy to build too.
I don't mean to double-hijack this carbon fiber driveshaft thread. The CF shaft uses flex joints, of course, and I still want to see more about the M5 coupling solution.
