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.

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.

I'm lucky enough to work in an aircraft engineering company.
I took my BMW prop to work, had it parted off on a big lathe in the machine shop, then again to shorten it, and welded back together by our welding shop. Then sandblasted and repainted. Come to think of it, I've had loads of stuff done in work! Hope nobody from there is reading this!
