Propshaft

[rob-53uk]

hi all
I have started my winter project of fitting a type 9 gearbox to my 1600 crossflow engine. I have a little problem with the propshaft which needs coverting and shortening. Any one know where i can get this work done in the Rutland/Leicester area
Merry Xmas to all

Re: Propshaft

Not exactly in your immediate area but there is a company that specialise in this kind of work just south of Huntingdon on the A1. I've used them and can't speak highly enough of their service; prices were good too. I can't recall the name off the top of my head but if you were interested I'm sure I could get it for you.

I'd be interested in finding out what's involved as this is one of the things I'm considering in the future as I also have a Xflow powered Marlin
