The Sierra drive shafts fit perfectly, after all the car is built around the running gear off the Sierra. Are both too short? I know they are different lengths for each side.

Panic over and thanks for the replys,aware they are sided as there is about 40 +mm difference in the shafts. Did not count on the fact that Ginetta use short custom made rear drive shafts and that is what I am using for donor as it has a brand new engine,Quaife box and new Quaife LSD,before anybody asks why,the Roadster handles 100% better.

Apolagies for the spelling mistakes.
