Driveshaft connecting sleeves
craigdiver - 28/9/17 at 06:52 PM

Any recommendations for getting some lathe work done?

(Need sleeves to join sierra push in drive shaft to BMW drive shaft. Looking for 100mm long, 37mm OD, 50mm of ID to be 31.8 and other 50mm to be 26mm.)

My old man can probably do this for you, he's in Collessie, depends on how much of a rush you are in. How certain are you on your sizes? You'll only have a 2.6mm wall thickness on one half which seems a bit light to me.

My mistake, was going for min 5mm wall thickness - but got it wrong!, should be 42mm OD. I’m in no real hurry, if it took a few weeks then not a problem. Measurements are rough at the moment, as Collessie is only 15mins from me would probably be a good idea for me to drop the drive shafts off so he can measure up more accurately.

Can you message me with a name & contact number.

Cheers
