BG, is this a FACT, or second hand information? I don't mean to doubt you, but I want to be 110% sure!
I need to get drive shafts for my project pretty soon (i'm making do with type1 shafts and CVs as the type1 arms are still in place at the moment), and I need to know EXACTLY which ones, as mistakes in buying Porsche parts are costly mistakes!

I have early aluminium arms. I thought I needed early-late (make sense?) drive shafts to suit, but the early aluminium arms were only in production for a short while and are rarer compared to the late-late arms. If I knew for a fact that late-late drive shafts would do, I could get them pretty easily.

Just a thought, but how do type 2 drive shafts measure up, length-wise, against the various type1/924/944 drive shafts?
I know blind chicken has a page with comparisons between shafts/cvs, but I don't remember them comparing overall lengths of shafts. Anyone ever definitively document the differences in lengths?
