Dunning and Fairbank Leeds,or Commercial Propshafts Gateshead,TVTE.
It's not worth taking the chance and needs to be perfect.

I got mine from D&F, excellent job, £100 cheaper than other quotes I got and they were very quick. I recommend them highly.

I too got mine from D&F of Leeds, paid on a tuesday, installed into my car on the friday, top class service.
I went for the "uprated" one that will handle more power/torque, total cost was £134.95 including delivery, made to measure, fully balanced. They ask for the distance from the diff flange to the gearbox oil seal, then they add a bit on to ensure it goes past the oil seal. My prop length is 642mm, Ash G,s is 644mm, tho it all depends on the placement of engine & gearbox into the chassis, if its the Type 9 box then the reverse light switch more or less determines the position in the chassis.....having the switch about 10mm rearwards of TT4 seems to be about right. cheers andy

I have seen the result of a sierra 4x4 front prop failure and it's not good for the car.

cant stress it enough - go for a new prop shaft professionally built, D & F have always been very good.
Unless you have your sierra one professionally shortened and balanced, would probably cost the same as a new bespoke one though. Regards....AndyH

Got mine from North West Propshafts near Bolton. Cost £98.00 + vat was ready in 2 days, excellent service. By the time you have a Ford prop shortened and balanced its hardly any cheaper.
