price of prop-shaft!
thanks to the guys who gave me company's to try earlier, just wondering if £265 is an average for a new prop, with bearing, and the drive
flange? wasn't expecting it to be that much! cheers.

if that £265 includes a TRT (torque tube to take out the driveline shunt) then its about normal price, but otherwise sounds a bit expensive to me.
Mine was about £160 from Stuart Taylor I think, about 18 months ago tho.

Mine was £100 from a local chap, not including a slide piece which was £50 extra from Mach #1

Just realised something, Steve's price will be a lot cheaper as its a straight one piece prop going from a car gearbox to diff. In a BEC, you
need a two piece prop with centre bearing, and it also really needs a sliding section in it to allow for any movement even with IRS, and its obviously
essential if you are going live axle.
