They were available recently,one was cheap and the other variety expensive.

MSA appproved complete shafts are available from Comercial Propshafts in Team Valley Gateshead. Stan is the man.

Gaz, if you get really stuck,

I have a spare pair of push in driveshafts ( intended keeping them as spares), but if they help keep your build going just get in touch.

They have very good CV boots & the tin cans are also in good nick.

Also got spare diff & brakes etc, infact its a full backend that I have spare.

cheers
andy

Cheers Andy. I'll keep that in mind. just need the left hand one.

FordpartsUK didn't get back to me so I assume they're unavailable.

I'm wondering what kind of market there is for them. Tooling wouldn't cost much and one of my neighbours has a business pressing car panels. Just a thought.

it will be a part that will shift, but not quickly. Demand will go up though.
