It's hard to tell what you might get when buying used. I've seen a lot of issues when buying driveshafts. I purchased a new one this year for that reason. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I picked up a proper flange from a white driveshaft with a joint and they are considerably bigger. Looks like I'm back to searching for the correct shaft or mak just build from scratch since it's going to be a street legal car. I will the some pictures when I get home.

There are two types of drive shafts that are legal. The original was white in color and has internal retainer-clips on the universal joints. The flanges that bolt to the front and rear were thinner. This shaft is widely used but the u-joint are NOT rated for the RPM's of a legend Car. The second and current shaft has 1200 series u-joint and is rated closer to the RPM's of a Legend Car. The newer gray shaft has external clips. The white shaft will weigh about 2-2.5 lbs less and should be in the 14lb range. The gray shaft closer to 16 to 16.5 range. Both are currently legal and have the same outer tube diameter.

If the bolt pattern is not the same, then it is likely you have the wrong ends on it.

A while back I picked up  a driveshaft and being new to legends I had figured they were all the same. This one looks like the proper shaft but the ends seem too small and the flange bolt circle is too small.and not square.

The ujoints don't have external clips

Could this be from a 8 bolt from a dwarf or modlite?

Please forgive the dumb new guy question, but: how do you build experience driving a legend car before race events?

I?m working on getting into the sport.  New Hampshire Motor Speedway is my closest track but I can?t seem to find anything about track days or opportunities to drive other than their two race weekends.  Anyone know anything about getting time on tracks in the region?  I?m primarily interested in road course.  Thanks in advance.
