OK I broke mine last weekend and as it is a grey import (was imported second hand from Japan) and there are not many of my vehicle in Australia I was thinking that I may need to look at custom options.

Any thoughts on my best course of action & if you guys have any idea on cost it would be appreciated.

Ouch thathas gotta hurt. Your local gearbox workshop should be able to point you in the right direction if not help you out.

Any tailshaft shop can make you one up using your ends. Its just a simple retube.
Just measure the distance from flange to flange when the car is parked on level ground. Should be about $200 - $300 depending.

measure it, it might be similar/same as a 60 or 75 series - might just need to swap your flanges onto it or re-drill your diff and tcase flanges.

or just take it to a drive shaft shop and say 'fix please'

Thanks guys.

I had a feeling I could get the tube redone, but was unsure.

I will track down a tailshaft shop & have a chat.
