DW8 into 205 Driveshafts/gbox problems?

[089]

i just got round to measuring the shafts.. the ones which were with the DW8 box are longer than a set of standard perv 205 axles i had lying about..
I don't know if it means that the location of the gearbox is different or if maybe perv and derv axles are different..
another trhing.. inner DW8 shaft and outer 205 shaft do not feel happy together ie. there is a bit of play between them.. again this may be attributed to them being petrol outer shafts.. i tried changing over those 3 ball typethingies at the end of the inner shaft but the 205 ones had a cir-clip and the DW8 ones were literally tack-welded in place

here are the photos of the gearbox.. if anyone sheds any light on the fitment issues..if any.. it has with 205s i'd be grateful..









thanks again for the patience guys and sorry for the shaky cam effect lol..
