Colin Satchell did mine as part of the wide track front end.

 

Well recomended top guy, although I still need to build mine up

You're looking around £250 BTW Kitty. That's from Colin, and I reckon it's worth every penny. My recent GKN driveshafts from GSF without exchange were £180 delivered. This strikes me as great value for durability and peace of mind. Buy cheap - buy twice!

 

I gather you're hooked now on the V6 idea so best of luck to ya.

Paul will be making me some, I will ask him to do some extra's as I have several sets of v6 and 306 shafts now

About halfway down, bespoke Titanium tubular driveshafts, made new, not shortened/sleeved standard ones.

I dont mind making them Kate, If you just want them welded like George's. I was going to get George to bring a set of 306 and v6 shafts to pugfest, so I can take them home and knock up some spigots that can be pressed into the shafts to keep them strait for welding.

Sorry to bump your thread but,

 

The GKN ones you got from GSF, do they come in 309 GTi form, as i'll be having the 309 arms

for the wider track. Also what actual difference are these to just having a set of recon ones ?

 

Can anyone recommend a place around the midlands that do reconditioning of 309 drive shafts ?

 

Cheers

yes but i presume you have to supply Colin with something in decent order (ie. 205 and 306/406 shafts) in the first place?
