Default Prop Shaft -Who to Make one

Has anyone got recommendations for companies to make a propshaft.
Standard type 9 to sierra diff, I don't have the original so no parts to use.
I'm near northampton.
Cheers

I'm planning on using these guys:

http://www.baileymorris.co.uk/

I don't think they're the cheapest around, but they're not far from me.
The guys that run our engine test cells at work use them and recommended them to me.

Last year they quoted me £70+VAT to shorten one, and between £170 and £220 to make a new (MX5) one from scratch.


EDIT: You beat me to it mat2223!

dunning and fairbank

good quility and service and was also cheaper than the rest
mine had rebuilderble uj's with grease nipples that some wanted extra for.
had a chat with the guy there and he said unless you are going v6/v8 std duty is good for over 200bhp with a 4pot

Dunning and Fairbank -- based on what I've read on here you'll get a top quality item for the lowest price delivered to your door in 2 business days or so.
