Title: Kitten and Robin halfshafts
Post by: max888 on August 05, 2016, 02:33:12 PM
Hi, can anyone tell me if the Kitten half shafts are interchangeable with other Reliant shafts? Got to the point of replacing the one I broke the thread off but can only find Robin / Rialto shafts. Looking at the end of the axles, mine's from a Kitten. Axle length not an issue as making new tubes anyway but more concerned over diameter / splines.

Cheers for any advice.

Andy

Pretty certain that the half shafts would be the same the same as the early Robin / Rialto (10" wheels). Think the bearing size change happened when the wheel size was increased to 12" in about 89.
