For Ford drive shafts it's best to go to GB Engineering, he's done plenty of shortened ones for the guys on locostbuilders. They were about £160.
Kind regards John

I've just been looking at the price of 4" - 4" 1/4 ali bar and I could make drive shaft spacers for about £30-40 each. Now would you want to go through the CV and the spacer in one hit with 6 long bolts, or counter bore the spacer and bolt it to the flange then bolt the CV to spacer?
One for twin turbo, Q are the bolt on shafts different lengths? You could put standard long shaft on the short side and put a standard long on the other side with one spacer so would only cost £30-40? Combine this with peugeot wheels instead of ford the bigger off set would give you more clearance.

it depends how big the spacer needs to be personally i would say you need to counter bore anything over 25mm. i would also use 12.9 bolts as the shear force in torsion will be higher due to the cvjoint pivot being further away from the diff output flanges.

a space will probably work on the read drive shafts on my design as the drive shaft is bolts to a flange near the diff but I am still lost on the front as I need them to be as much as 150mm longer and they are shafted each end. All I will need is a longer shaft the cv and tripod uj are fine
