I dont know about balancing but he once welded the propshaft on my boat when it had sheared after I hit a rock. It ended up with less vibration than before.

However I do realise a car shaft is a different PROPosition( )as theres not much suspension or gear changing on a boat.

Anyway anyone know where I can get one made(any propshaft people in the new directory of suppliers?)

There are several prop/driveshaft specialists about. I don't think any of the Roadster specific companies do prop work (although I'm happy to be corrected).

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

Ill get some quotes from the people suggested.

It will be peace of mind in the end.

Mind you my t.tunnel looks like the Forth bridge with all its extra bits after HA
