Car - ke70

motor / part in question - t series drive shaft

problem - centre bracket isn't wide enough to line up with bolt holes


hey guys, was putting my tail shaft in today and hit a problem. The yoke fits in fine and the rear end bolts up to the diff fine, but the centre bracket that holds the drive shaft from falling out isn't wide enough to line up with the bolt holes.





here is the ke70 drive shaft, the bracket on this one is a bit wider then the one on the car.




what do you guys think? do i have the wrong font section?

How do you thing i can solve this problem? i really don't want to have to get a new front section if possible, was thinking of making a thick bracket to widen it out a bit, but am thinking this could be dodgy.

is there a way of swapping the two brackets on the drive shafts?( changing the the one on there out for the ke70 one)

any help is much appreciated guys!
