CVH Propshaft

[ayjay]

Im going to get my prop shaft done soon but how much of the stuff on it it do I really need?
Theres a big donut which wont fit in the tunnel anyway,a three spoked round shock absorber on the other end,universal joints, centre support etc
How much of this do I need if the shaft is considerably shorter?

Get a quote for a new one, it won't be vastly different from a modded prop as the work involved in modding is nearly as mucha s some clean new tube and ends.

A friend of mine says hell have a go at it for me (engineer with lathe etc)
He reckons I may just need 1 uj and the small shock absorber .

Any comments/advice please

All well and good but can your friend balance it as it will be spinning at high revs and will be about 3" away from you :eek:

[ayjay]

I dont know about balancing but he once welded the propshaft on my boat when it had sheared after I hit a rock. It ended up with less vibration than before.

However I do realise a car shaft is a different PROPosition(:o )as theres not much suspension or gear changing on a boat.:D

Anyway anyone know where I can get one made(any propshaft people in the new directory of suppliers?)

[PorkChop]

There are several prop/driveshaft specialists about. I don't think any of the Roadster specific companies do prop work (although I'm happy to be corrected).

D&F made mine.

Nothwest props also come recomended by a number of members.

+1 for D&F, really good service fitted a week after ordering.

£130 and they have an on-line pdf to get the length correct

Thanks for all the replies and advice.:)

Ill get some quotes from the people suggested.

It will be peace of mind in the end.;)

Mind you my t.tunnel looks like the Forth bridge with all its extra bits after HA
posted something about prop shafts wandering around the passenger compartments at 90mph:eek:
