Help me ID this driveshaft.
Ok so I have these spare driveshafts from my racecar(series-1) , I figured I would restore them with new bearings and put them in my streetcar(series-2).
Judging from a parts# manual it should be the same size bearings and collars.
Got new bearings(SkF# 6207-2RS1) from the hardware store, then ordered the presscollars from Mazda(8531-26-152)
After pressing the bearings in, the collars had its turn, they made it to the first flare.
Shaft seat is 35mm and the collars I got from Mazda is 30mm
Could this be a Series-3 shaft?

It could be a series 3 shaft. The series 3 was a bigger shaft for more strength, but the downside was that the axle tubes are weaker for some reason, and the small axle rear ends were stronger, at least to my knowledge. The best way to find out is to measure the axles you have and compare that to a factory service manual.
