![]() Im going to get my prop shaft done soon but how much of the stuff on it it do I really need?
Theres a big donut which wont fit in the tunnel anyway,a three spoked round shock absorber on the other end,universal joints, centre support etc How much of this do I need if the shaft is considerably shorter? http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z429/ayjay50/ |

![]() Get a quote for a new one, it won't be vastly different from a modded prop as the work involved in modding is nearly as mucha s some clean new tube and ends.

![]() All well and good but can your friend balance it as it will be spinning at high revs and will be about 3" away from you

![]() 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( ![]() ![]() 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.
