Solid flex disc? - m1tch - 01-25-2016 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had changed their rubber flex disc on the prop shaft to a solid/CNC disc instead to ensure that there is maximum power transferred plus the fact that the rubber version might get damaged at higher power levels. RE: Solid flex disc? - raysorenson - 01-25-2016 I put cardans in. Without a dual mass FW the vibrations at certain engine and vehicle speeds is horrible. it's best to just use at least one rubber flex disc of adequate size. RE: Solid flex disc? - Frank606 - 01-25-2016 I've just ordered the poly type Flexi discs from Ake, hedgehog tuning Hoping they will work good RE: Solid flex disc? - m1tch - 01-25-2016 Thanks for the info guys, I don't know what condition mine are in so I was just checking options if I needed to order another set - poly type would probably be the sort I would go for though. RE: Solid flex disc? - Matej - 01-30-2016 It is best to convert to a one-piece driveshaft with U-joints and a slip yoke using a yoke adapter for the transmission and differential (Spicer part number 3104-27), as shown here: http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/showthread.php?tid=783 A 2005-13 Ford Mustang driveshaft already includes a slip yoke and is easy to find (not sure about the UK though), so it makes for a good candidate. It just needs to be lengthened by a drivetrain shop and used with conversion U-joints, since it probably comes with 1330 or 1350 joints, while the 3104-27 yoke uses a 1310 joint.
