Propshaft recommendations
I need a propshaft to connect type 9 gearbox to sierra diff, engine will put out about 170 bhp. Can anyone recommend a propshaft manufacturer?
Cheers

Not very close but I had a custom one made at Prop Tech Ltd in Kidderminster for my RX7/LS1 combo. I've used them before because all the Raw
Eng. props are made there.

I need 645mm from prop flange to gearbox oil seal. Don't know how that translates to overall length, but I'd be interested to see what
you've got, and how much you'd like for it!

I got a brand new one from Bailey Morris with sealed, heavy duty U/J's. Excellent quality £150 all in. As above, all they needed was
measurement from Flange face to G/box oil seal. The standard seems to be for them to then allow approx 25mm shaft clearance on the splines to allow
for movement.
HTH,
Matt

Another vote for Bailey Morris.
Been to their works at St Neots on the A1. They do nothing but propshafts.
Cartainly had no probelms with mine on the V8 Viento.

Dave Mac propshafts in Coventry
I just ordered a new propshaft from them today to do a gearbox change.
They charged £95 plus vat and do a 24hr turn round. It will be all new, painted and balanced, 1140 series UJ's* (rated for continuous 400Nm or
50% possible overload to 600Nm), ford rocket spline to english axle flange.
*Bigger UJ's would be more expensive; 1300 series are rated for 556Nm continuous and 1000Nm max possible, but are bulkier and might not fit the
tunnel.
I'll collect mine in person but they'd ship it.
They made my current one too (in 2001), It only cost £47 total because I supplied the ends, which they refurbished. I ordered that one on a
Thursday, collected it on Friday afternoon and fitted it the same evening.

AutoProp in East Grinstead/Felbridge will make one to order. Not too far from you.
I got very good service from them.
