You must have a local propshaft place, they can all do them. I found a local place who does fabrication, repairs etc. at very reasonable prices. He also got me a pair of driveshafts machined, supplied CV joints etc.

Bailey Morris tend to put a TRT in theirs but my local guy wasn't keen as he's had bad experiences with the tubes separating.

Autoprop did me proud on my propshaft (car engined though), after BM raised their price and D&F arsed me about AND cost me money with terrible advice I took a gamble on autoprop and thought the guy was great (and quick).

I used autoprop to shorten my prop and was very pleased with the service. He does also do custom props.
