> The correct length for a 1500 Spitfire 4 speed shaft is 41.625 +/- 0.50,
No. The correct length for a MkIV or 1500 with the 3-rail box is 41.25 inches.
The later 1500 models (1975 onwards, all home market 1500s) with the single
rail box have a 38" propshaft as the gearbox is3.25 inches longer.
According to my references, the overdrive propshaft for a late 1500 should be
37" long.
Cheers,
Bill.
