What is the bolt circle for the pinion on the 8.8? I need to get my driveshaft ordered!

Any decent shop that builds driveshafts should know the pattern, if not, measure it. I've found that local shops are much easier to deal with than sending measurements off to some of the bigger/better known and overpriced shaft builders.

The pinion flange visible here. I need the bolt circle value in inches.

I had a really good experience with an out of state shop last time. They took my order over the phone, shipped it the same day for a price I couldn't believe, and the part was quality. It lasted longer than the build, and is currently out there in someone elses TII swap. I was really hoping to patronize them again.

There is a place locally that can build some nice shafts, but I think their prices are pretty outrageous and when I went to them intially with a TII driveshaft in one hand and an -SE shaft in the other they just treated me like I was retarded.

I suppose I could measure it, but it probably wouldn't be terribly accurate, and this is info that should be out there!

All you need to do is measure the center of the bolt holes diagonally. The drive shaft shop will know if you're off or not since most of the pinion flanges are pretty standard.

There is a shop near my house that is use. Last year they made a custom shaft for a TII swap for 205, which I then shipped to Japan. All I took in was a set of measurements and the yoke off of a TII driveshaft.
