any chance you could measure the compressed lengths of the shafts?

Hi Martin, Its Steve (saxosteve from the other forum)

The clutch cable you have quoted, is that one of the 'auto adjusting' ones that have the wanky ratcheting mechanism?

Also instead of machining hubs down to 35mm, machine to 37mm and use later model saxo/106 wheel bearing. As the slight taper on the end of the BE shaft fowls on the smaller bearing if you use the correct thickness shim between.

306 1.8 16v shaft on nearside is a direct fit.

is the 306 shaft as thick as the picasso one and does it have the same abs ring
