Hey all, anyone got anytips on where to go to get a custom tailshaft made up?
Its a little premature (like Bj on roids in bed i read) but would like to get an idea on times and costs associated and who people DO recommend.

cheers

hardy spicer with an abn if you can, I did it through a mates w/shop acc and just jave him cash, was around $70-$90 from memory for a 890mm long shaft with a double cardinal joint, I supplied parts to build it.

Yeah Hardy Spicer are well know through Aus and that my dad work for one of the branches in vic i have killed all my tail shafts but the ones from hardy spicer....


This is my custom tail shaft that i got made up for the front of my hilux with double cardinal joints and just under a 100mm longer then the standed hilux one and i got it done for free And my back one in getting done now

If it is your front shaft take it to a good engineering shop, Promac did my front within 3 thou or something or other and it cost $100 5 years ago. Fronts really shouldn't need balancing if they are within a few thou, mine has never given me dramas

Gibsons at edgeworth are great to deal with and come with recomendation off a few of the locals although I havent had a driveshaft done through them, only bought CV's. Ask Hypo if you want to know about the quality of their driveshafts though as they did the shafts on his lux...

cheers all.
I will give hardy spicer a ring and also gibsons.

It is for a rear shaft. with the driveline i have in an FJ40 the rear will be a short shaft.
the front will be fairly long.
i can take the bits to them there is no probs there.
well i can shortly just sourcing some donor shafts at the moment.

further to this, whats everyones tips on double cardins? hilux ones or i hear MQ ones can be quite good?
