Has that CV been machined down and had a ring pressed and welded over the top?
Were Both your longs destroyed or just the one?

i think it has been machine and then a ring put on and then welded

I dare say he has machined the ring with a 45 degree chamfer and left the radius that is already on the CV and butted them together (would have about a 4-5mm deep grove to weld into, Nice and Strong)
After he has welded it he has machined it so it looks neat and tidy (which it does)!!!
They look great!!!!!
DO THEY WORK!!!!!!

had a few probs wit fitting them basically there isnt enuf of a champher on the end coz wen i put it in and them bolt down the stub axle it tightens up, at first i thought that the ring was too thick but its the same if not shorter than the long and i putting it down 2 the local job bein a squarer end i taking them back 2mora 2 get looked at so will keep posted as i find more..
BTW old yealla from the board is running 1 on his drivers side and it held up good 2 the poundin he dished it at the nissan trials

Pretty bloody good!!!!!
thats good in theroy, but you forgot that bobby is in washington state so there is sales tax.
80x2+17%=187.20
187.20+90 (postage) or 120 if you want it insured.
277.20/72*100=385 australian dollars
customs inspection fee of 80 dollars so your up to 465.
then becouse they are new you "may" have to pay 36 precent tax on auto parts so that makes a grand total of 632.40, so if you do plan on doing this budget 650 a pair, but if anyone thinks that they can get them for 350ish a pair in will take 5 sets.
NICK
so what time of the day or night I call U.S.A and also I herd that they are about to stop the import and export tax.
