I put some propshaft photos in a topic long ago, but Alas I should have put a ruler in the picture.

Perfect! What's the width of a brick? Might be different in UK vs US.

Those bricks are 6.2 cm wide. Excluding the mortar between bricks and 21.3 cm long.
2.56 cm per inch. gives 2.34 inches by 8.32 inches long

Dave,
I have a prop shaft out of my 1968 S4. If mnauduit has not answered your questions I could take some measurements for you.

Are those metric, english, or whitworth bricks? Also, I believe in this orientation it's the brick height/depth that is in question.
I can offer that standard gauge railroad tracks have the same spacing on both sides of the pond, at a nice 4 feet 8 1/2 inches, or 1435 millimeters. Perhaps we should measure up a driveshaft or two in those.
Or, at MIT they favor Smoots...
