Propshaft Modifications
Im trying to find a company to modify a propshaft, ideally somewhere in the south east. The company that comes up on here is Autoprop, but their
website no longer works. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

I needed a prop shaft many years ago, and the company said it would cost about the same to make one from scratch as to modifying one. (and they would
warranty/guarantee the new one)
can also cut down on time, and delivery costs.
edit to add,
they also made it a lot narrower than the original, so fitted more easily.
that was reco-prop in Luton, and they are still there, so must be doing something right.

The new ones I have had made have been mail order. But when my prop UJ seized, I took it to Bailey Morris in Feltham for a balance.
Autoprop were a bit oddball, did get a few things wrong and I stopped using him 25 years ago.

Dunning and Fairbank are good and usually very helpful on the phone. Ive sent them damaged props in the past and had pretty quick service.
Failing them, next choice would be Bailey Morris.
