This isn't a front wheel drive half shaft though, it's my Triumph
Spitfires driveshaft. That isn't so cheap, and I'm having fun playing
with it. :-)
I've already shortened it myself, next step is balancing. I could just
swap another good CV joint off one of my other Spitfire driveshafts
(they just slip onto the end of the driveshaft), but I don't want to do
that just yet. I'm having fun playing!
Finally found a product catalog for a CJ joint manufacturer that listed
the critical dimensions of the various boots. Looks like a Tercel inner
boot might do the job.
