Driveshaft extension

I managed to dissassemble both Peugeot and Leaf driveshafts.

Leaf right one has additional bearing that keeps the shaft aligned and keeps the same length of both driveshafts as well as both angles of movement.

406C and Leaf are almost the same width and the shafts are a good fit. Pugs shaft is wider tube which will help me with mating one onto the other.

That is exactly what i did. I cut both shafts where they intersected and I got them to Stane and he turned Leaf shafts and took off 0.5mm of material so that leaf shaft went into the 406c shaft for about 60mm, Then we drilled into 406c shaft from the side to get access to the underlying Leaf shaft. We then welded along the joint circumference AND into the hole. That meant that bothj shafts are melted into one and no ammount of torque will turn the inner shaft inside the outer.

Then i assembled the shafts on my subframe with motor and mounts. I only need to make the third mount.

Third mount proved to be a problem. I had to go and buy a Renault Kangoo mount which would clear the steering axle.  Then i made a strong fork that fixed the lower halfh of the mount to the frame. I used two long hex nuts on a M12 bolt and weld them together. This will be my central fixture on motor side.

I had less work with the motor side mount. I just made a level 6mm plate. I had to be carefull when drilling holes since all 4 had to be aligned. Then i welded some points to fix the part and went on to a complete weld in a jig.
