Ooops so you did  . I was reading:
"The G/V left is 40mm longer than the Escudo and the G/V right is 18mm longer"
If the shaft is longer then the CV would be further into its housing and the angle would be better, that got my attention.
I stripped the left hand and right hand Track/Kick/Vit shafts that I had here to see if I could build a longer shaft by mixing and matching but the shaft part was the same length. When I got the guy in the breakers to compare GV and Track/Kick shafts for me he reckoned they were all the same. He obviously didn't look too closely   Of course he wasn't going to strip any down and clean them up to do

BTW
I use my 1/2" an 13MM  wrenches interchagably
but a 12mm is too loose on a 7/16" nut/bolt

So size it as you will, I just can't use my 12mm
for a 7/16" bolt head but I can use a 13mm on
a 1/2"

25.4 mm = 1 inch so 12/25.4= 0.47244094488188976377952755905512in

I let you do the rest of the math to get a faction  

The unit of measure was 16ths
not 12ths, now assuming that
25.4mm = 1"  which I think is
correct  1/16" = 1.5875 mm
7 * 1.5875 = 11.1125
So then 8/16" or 1/2" =12.7mm

That would be why I can use a 13mm
wrench on a 1/2" bolt but a 12mm is
too loose on a 7/16" bolt  


But it would be so much easier if we
just all used metric units instead of
this horrid mix of sizes

I hear you on that!
