Hi, thanks for the concern, but I have done a good few prop and driveshafts, and not only am I 100% happy with it, but I cant afford the cost of having one made anyway

I did speak with a place a few months back, but they couldnt help, other problem is that £200+ as I was quoted is way beyond my means at the moment. and that was a guesstimate, guy said that they would only use new parts, I enquired and the UJ from the engine on the Kawasaki lump is over £300 on its own new, with a 17 week wait!

the worst case scenario of my prop mod is the welding fails, and it wont!, but if it did, then I would just lose drive, one would spin inside the other and thats it.

as mines a bike engined trike build, the prop isnt near me.

anyhow I took different route home this evening to drop someone off and went past a house with couple of hotrod/bangers outside, one was a sierra

went and knocked on door, he had a prop laid in front garden, and gave it to me to get it out of his way

happy bunny I am, tomoro get on the lathe and start turning down some bar stock to adapt the 2 props together
