Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

I've used Bailey Morris and North West props, happy with both, but they're not the cheapest.

Jon Dunning at Dunning Fairbanks quoted me £85 + £12.00 carriage + VAT to shorten, balance and replace both UJs on an MX5 prop shaft.

When he got it he said I didn't need new UJs as the ones on it were fine so it was only £45 + £12.00 carriage + VAT to shorten and balance.

Got mine from Dunning and Fairbanks for a MT75 which needed an adaptor to the 3 bolt flange on the gear box. It was £145 excluding VAT, including the adaptor. Not cheap for sure, but is was "plug and play", came with all the needed bolts for the adaptor, etc. Anyway for me, it was cheaper than having the original Sierra propshaft shortened and balanced locally !
Quality is very good and I'm very happy with the part. Service was very good as well, they are very quick and reactive.
