kate205gti 4 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) can anyone recommend a good place to get custom driveshafts made up please? for v6 conversion, got the measurements but needs to be straight (obviously!) and shortened cheers Edited June 16, 2009 by kate205gti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davepug205 7 Posted June 16, 2009 Colin Satchell did mine as part of the wide track front end. Well recomended top guy, although I still need to build mine up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSarty 90 1 Cars Posted June 17, 2009 You're looking around £250 BTW Kitty. That's from Colin, and I reckon it's worth every penny. My recent GKN driveshafts from GSF without exchange were £180 delivered. This strikes me as great value for durability and peace of mind. Buy cheap - buy twice! I gather you're hooked now on the V6 idea so best of luck to ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goliath 94 Posted June 17, 2009 Paul will be making me some, I will ask him to do some extra's as I have several sets of v6 and 306 shafts now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted June 17, 2009 http://www.force-racing.co.uk/front-suspension/ About halfway down, bespoke Titanium tubular driveshafts, made new, not shortened/sleeved standard ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreigner 0 Posted June 17, 2009 why don't you tried place in Luton , forgot the name but they in every good mag and they are in Chase Street in Luton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thirdtimelucky 3 Posted June 17, 2009 I dont mind making them Kate, If you just want them welded like George's. I was going to get George to bring a set of 306 and v6 shafts to pugfest, so I can take them home and knock up some spigots that can be pressed into the shafts to keep them strait for welding.

This strikes me as great value for durability and peace of mind. Buy cheap - buy twice! I gather you're hooked now on the V6 idea so best of luck to ya. Sorry to bump your thread but, The GKN ones you got from GSF, do they come in 309 GTi form, as i'll be having the 309 arms for the wider track. Also what actual difference are these to just having a set of recon ones ? Can anyone recommend a place around the midlands that do reconditioning of 309 drive shafts ?
