Subject: [TR] what type of prop shaft to get<br>
<br>
<div id="yiv7701053107">
<div dir="ltr">
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">I took two prop shafts for a manual Stag to get balanced. The
guy at the shop said the splines are worn and it can’t be balanced. He said he
can make me a new custom one for 500$. The new one will use UJs The shop has
been around for years and they balanced my BW35 auto one many years back.</div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">LDParts has a prop shaft for sale. It is fitted with universal
joints. Rimmer Bros. sells a prop shaft fitted with CV joints. With shipping to
the USA, I can get either shipped for less than $300.</div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">While talking this guy, he said don’t get the one with the
CV joints. CV joints are not suited for prop shafts. I didn’t probe why but am
curious if there is any truth to what he said.</div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">With the rate of exchange between the UKP and US$ being the way
it is I’m hedging to get one with CV shipped from Rimmers</div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;">Have others in the US got a prop shaft custom made? If so,
what is a typical cost?</div>
<div class="yiv7701053107MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;"> </div>
