Problem with big city highway patrol cars is they sit ideling for hours on end at booze busses and speed traps, they also tend to be flogged hard when going over medium strips, gutters and potholes.

Do not kid yourself into thinking they are not driven hard, they are. If you want one, get a country one as they do not have the same amount of abuse.

Much of muchness really. The country ones will however do much more long distance high speed driving. Same dints and gutter issues.

Kindly refer to either my opening post or this one.

Anyway, topic of thread is NOT the merits of ex-popo vehicles people... :fool:

:omg:

Alas, no one seems to know the answer to my Q so we may as well just move along.

I would suggest the alluminium tailshaft applies to the Ute as it has a steel one piece from the factory (I think)and the ally one may give it a slightly higher safety margin for high speed.

When tailshafts get too long they let go at high RPM. Hence why the EA to EL cars were speed limited.

By going to a two piece in the BA onwards sedans solves the problem of tailshafts letting go at high speeds. So I doubt that info relates to the sedan.

Maybe ring up AMCAP or Conventries and see whether the electronic parts catalog can shed some more light.
