  1. Here is the culmination of many hours of research and time at the wreckers. I hate to see people spend hard cash on unnecessarily expensive custom axles. The bare axles from a BG series Mazda Familia 323 1.6 SOHC same as Ford laser KF or BW mazda wagon. They fit Subaru 22 spline inner, and the mgf hub. The length is such that it places the inner joint yoke quite centrally in the cup (there is more than enough plunge available). I will measure for you in the morning, length and diameter. These, I expect, would take similar power outputs to the rover shafts, possibly more as many have turbocharged these cars without beefing the axles and I cant find reports of breaking no matter how long I spend scouring mazda/ford forums. But also- There is a heavier duty version from a BH 1.6 DOHC mazda / KH Ford Laser with a 22mm diameter and just marginally longer. Sits the yoke slightly further back in the cup, but again, plenty of plunge available in my bench test rig. Again, fits the mgf cv and same mazda cv as earlier. It does not appear to matter Auto or Manual. Short side axles obviously. 1.8 engined cars do not fit. 1.5 engined cars have the wrong spine. Must be 1.6 SOHC or DOHC. Both types of axle will work with Subaru diffs- I have not tested with triumph diffs but would expect they will be too long. Incidentally, both axles fit a nissan march/micra k11 1.3 cv- however, this may prove to be a little too lightweight for most applications except fairly standard 4 cylinder cars. But the beauty is you can use the micra/march bearing and the uprights require only the through bore and circlips. 4x100 pcd. These axles are so cheap in the Antipodes, it would be worth those already with Subaru diffs running rover shafts swapping and passing on their axles to others keeping the triumph diff. I am using the matching mazda cvs as I want a 4x100 pcd to match my front suspension, the machining is the same (more or less) as the mgf cv / bearing conversion and fits well in the upright. I use a vw/mazda bearing with roughly the same dimensions as the mgf, but cheaper and probably more available. Has a 39mm ID, so I machine 1mm off the Mazda drive flange spigot. All unnecessary with the Mgf cv/bearing conversion however. Will drag out part number and measurements in the morning. I have several sets of the BG bare axles on the shelf- and can get vast numbers fairly cheap. These are as common as muck in NZ and Oz. Perhaps less common your side of the world, but available new still. They cost me next to nothing but time to remove them and I am in NZ so, well, postage. But if you want some, make me an offer. The 22mm later versions are a little harder to find and generally cost me a little more as I have to get them from a different wrecker, but again, make an offer. I only need a pair for my car! Plenty of pics on my Facebook site- I think it links in my signature. Again, I'll update this tomorrow. Go forth and modify!
