KAM Land Rover CV Conversion 32 to 23 Splines
The
Conversion
In almost all
cases, vehicles from 1998 are fitted with 32 spline half shaft and
matching CV joint. KAM Diffs produce a different splined CV
which means that you can fit our well proven KAM strengthened half
shafts to the newer type axles. Added to this is the unique "Fusible"
stub shafts which are fitted to protect your CV's, half shafts
and differential. These can be supplied with different levels of
"undercuts", ( Braking points ) to suit the individual performance
characteristics your vehicle (engine / tyre size etc).
Fusible Stub Shaft
The fusible stub shafts always break at the same point every
time (without leaving any swarf), just behind the driving
member flange. To change them is simple, just remove the 5
flange bolts and the end of the stub is visible and can be
removed. The whole process only takes approx 5 minutes. which is
very convenient when competing in an event.

KAM supply 3 off stub shafts; 2 to fit and one as a spare. These
stub shafts have an undercut that we can adjust from 26.5mm as standard,
to whatever size suits your vehicle in the terrain conditions it is to
be used in. If you find you are braking your stubs too often, we can
increase in steps of 0.5mm. The price at £46 retail each. 1kg shipping
weight.
The KAM CV. New Improved Type 2005
The CV is made with 23 splines on the CV and 24 splines on the hub
outer side. The CV is 30% stronger than the original and has 200%
increase in fatigue life. Added to this, all the parts are polished
to give a very highly conditioned surface finish.

KAM Strengthened Shafts. New
Improved Type 2005
They are 24 splines on the diff end and 23 splines on the CV end. The 32
splined standard shafts cannot be made very much stronger because they
simply do not have the diameter or cross section material area that is
required.
23 spline shafts are 31.69% bigger that the 32 spline shaft.
32 spline is 541.95 mm 2
23 spline is 713.71 mm 2KAM shafts have been
used extensively for the last 14 years in top off road and competition
vehicles and we use the best material to obtain around a 35 to 40%%
increases in strength. Recently we have undergone 14 months of
extensive testing for an application for the Spanish Military with the
Santana PS10. From the results of this testing we have improved the
type of heat treatment used to give an even better shaft. To date we
have now supplied 1400 shafts to them.
