Rear beam shaft differences - Ben - 11-11-2014

I've had a browse around on the net, but can't find an answer. Does anyone know why the two shafts differ slightly?

They don't always, and there's certainly no need for them to - any refurbished beam will likely have a pair of matching shafts fitted.

Cheers, I didn't think there was any reason for it. Just seems strange that they would have made them like that as it would have cost them more to manufacture.
I was going to use a hybrid arb but I may get my new shafts bored out before I rebuild the beam so I can use a 30mm one.

just buy new shafts, not used any yet that weren't big enough for a 30mm bar.
