I am nearing the stage where I need to get a prop shaft made. I'm in North Kent near Rochester - can anyone recommend a manufacturer that's fairly close i.e. less than 20 miles or so from my home ?

Mike at autoprop in sussex has just made mine this week. Super fast service. I haven't picked it up yet so can't comment on the job yet.

These guys have made and modified a few propshafts for me. Very good service and a good price.
