Need to make long slip driveshafts.
So I'm after a pair of series driveshafts on fussed about uj's or the driveshaft itself as long as the splines are good.
Cheers
Andrew

I have 2 sets. Both SWB SIIA
This set is mint-o-rama
This set has more worn ujs and a bit of side movement on the front slip joint but no spline damage

lax2 could you pm me a price for the worn set and postage to auck? could you possibly cut the spline 20ish mm from where it goes to the larger body tube as it were.
antneil how much travel is in the disc shaft i need 8" total with 6" of travel roughly.
cheers

If you can wait until xmas/new years I can probably bring a set up to aucks for you. Box of green bottles should probably do it

Cheers for that, junior
I greased them up and the UJs are actually better than I thought, so Best to keep the spare set for future possible Nissan axle swap. As for the other set, well they're just in too good condition to chop up.
Good thinking!

If they are good then keep them. I'd rather get a pair that someone was going to scrap then chop up useable pair.
cheers

Youve got my number if hes still got them.
Failing that Turoa's offered to bring a pair up when he comes.
