Half shaft lengths

[Discotroll]

Hello all - a bit of help regarding the compatability of half shafts would be much appreciated. 

I'm digging through the various parts I have here - I'm looking at using a standard 33-39 'D' rear axle housing but all the half shafts I have measure about 22 1/16" in total (including the ones that came with the D housing) - are these too short or are they, in reality, what is called  22 1/2" in my Douglas Woodrow manual?

Many thanks for any help offered!

Rather than attempt to answer you in detail, permit me to refer you here: https://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/static/...6&cmd=show

However you look at it, they are unlikely to be suitable for a D-type axle.

Ahh - thanks for the link, that explains it really well. As you say, what I've got isn't going to work in a D housing...
