WANTED: Hewland MK8 12-11/16" 'long' Input Shaft

[Davrian1300]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a Hewland Input Shaft to suit the Mark 8 and 9 type gearboxes with the thicker (Lotus) 3-1/4" engine adapter, the shaft is 7/8" diameter / 20 Spline with a length of 12-11/16 (or 322.3mm). This is a longer type than the more common shaft which typically mates up the xflow engines and the thinner adapter. Would appreciate any help finding one.

Im UK based.

Try the lotus 23 sources in the uk like Peter Denty or PDS
From memory the Lotus 23 is a 3" bellhousing on a twin cam with a 7/8 x 20 clutch spline
