Hi Everyone.

Just to let you know if you have any problems with propshafts, universal joints, vibrations or anything else propshaft related, please do not hesitate to leave a massage on this thread or contact me directly.

I have been manufacturing propshafts for over 20 years at a reputable company and have a wealth of information a technical expertise behind me.

Thanks

Hi & very warm welcome to the forum

A propshaft engineer will be a welcome addition to our comunity

Do you have a web site ? If you do, perhaps you could add it to your signature.

Do you make driveshafts as well Mr Propshaft?

Cheers

Chris

Hi

Yes Driveshafts can be manufactured also.

It is considerably cheaper to re-machine 4 donor shafts to make 2 hybrid than to manufacture from scratch.

If you want to give me a quick brief of what you would like i can give you some more information.

Hi Mate, Welcome to the Forum.

Bailey Morris Limited are quoting £120 for a Propshaft. I had a chat with them at a recent show. This can be confirmed by all the Guys who also attended.

They seem to know the business so... So what is your tender price to attract our business away? Where are you based? You may be local to some members?

Maybe if other members can provide the technical spec and dims for this item. We can get a standardised price for supply. (Of course this depend on engine choice)

Hello

I have no doubt that Bailey morris will have quoted that price i assume you will have spoke to Kevin, Richard or possibly Clive. They are a very good company and they do know alot about our field of engineering. Cant take their drink though .

Our kit car propshafts range from £95 to £120 + VAT delivered but as i am sure you will know, very rarely are two builds exactly the same.

I am happy to quote on any work but I didn't really join the forum to tout for business, it was more to give advice to people who had any questions about drivelines and propshafts. A Friend Said it would be helpful.

If you would like a quote then i am more than happy to oblige.

Hi Adrian

It was Possibly me you spoke to but i will check if i have any record of it tomorrow.

We use quite a few different sizes of tube. The tube we use is usually welded or D.O.M.

I will Also check the E number for you tomorrow. and see if i can find a steel spec sheet for you if you wish.

I was thinking i might get the odd vibration question or how to check a UJ.
I didnt expect to start with an easy one like this .

Hi Propman,
just so you know who i am when the time comes,......

i,ll be looking for a propshaft in the next 6 weeks or so for my build ( see the "Big day" thread ),

i,ve got a ford 1.8 CVH engine to the original donor diff, what info do you need from me to be able to price the job up?

many thanks
andy

Thanks Adrian, so once i get the engine/gearbox mounted i,ll take the measurements & contact Prop Man...........roughly how long is delivery time from placing order?

Adrian..... thanks for your PM,s other night, was gonna reply tonight after posting the photos from today ,

cheers

Adrian has answered the question for me.

I think he might be after my job .

Once we know a diff to gearbox measurement me can have one made and dispatched in a matter of hours. (as long as we dont get the go ahead at 5 to 5)
