Having grooves machined onto the axel for the purpose of securing the inner boot was not entierly a priority or focus when the axels were being made. Since this conversion warranted the creation of custom axels, the main focus was a solid straight piece of axel with no grooves or downsize of axel thickness. The axels only required half a mm to get the axel true in roundness.

Now since the axels were made and nitrided, getting them machined is still possible, but since i want to finally get the car driving after this lenghty and hard conversion, i just want to finish it asap. Removing the driveshafts and getting them re machibned, at this time, is something i dont want to do. I just want to refit the passenger side driveshaft and finally drive the car after all the hard work i put into it.


If they do leak grease, ill consider getting the axels machined. But yeah, i'll do it when the time comes.

Blowing CV's is the least of my worry, if any. I can buy brand new CV's for $38AU, so if i blow 10 cv's big whoop.

There was absolutely no point in getting those shafts made then mate, they are only as strong as their weakest point, and as pointed out before, the CVs are the weak point!!!!

if the boots leak grease, i will just use resin glue to seal them up cos i wont be touching the axels, not going to machine them ever.
