Have a fiat bravo 155 hgt I have a narckard l/h driveshaft! The slipped the chi boot of the shaft nearest to the hub and a load of bearing fell out! Will driveshafts from a coupe or Alfa fit the 155 as dint fancy paying £200+VAT for a new one?

General Drive shaft
Driveshafts from any 20v fivespeed c510 shortbox (bravo/marea/coupe/kappa...) should fit as the hubs are pretty much the same with the flange mount. Not from 20vt as I guess the shaft is shorter due to the locking diff?
Seems like 2.0 JTS engines on alfa had same box, and TwinSparks had modified version of it, but I have no idea if the hubs have same splines as they are not shared with fiat/lancia.

I have both the Driveshafts from my 20v hgt sitting around from before my 20vt conversion. You are welcome to them if you arrange for a courier to collect.

Thanks for the offer and info, I didn't realize new bearings come with a new outer cv joint. Which bravo hgt did you turbo? I wanted to do the conversion to my 155 but to many people say it's too complicated with the wiring and abs!!
My Bravo is the one I am currently rebuilding due to a melted Piston.

So you did this conversion to a 155 hgt? Did you have many complications with wiring and abs?
It was a 147 HGT. My brother had to make a custom wiring loom for it. ABS all working with no problems but yes, people have struggled....
@ dameincollings ....what people tell you is right
I'm currently in the process of converting a Marea 155 20v and it's soo complicated that I've gone a different way with the engine build
It's not reccomended

Yeh thought so! I've been reading your thread on the marea! Does look complicated with the looms! Do youknow anybody who's converted the 155? Which other way you thinking?
