Custom drive shafts

I plan initially to cut/sleeve and weld to make my hybrid driveshafts.

I would like however to get proper shafts made eventually to go from volvo inners to mazda outers.

Anyone had any experience of getting this done or know who has the capability?

Cheers

GKN are tops, then Jack Knights, then everyone will tell you GB engineering. But, I've seen some driveshafts from GB that haven't been properly heat treated, or not at all, or maybe wrong material, just lately. Spun the splines straight out and made the splined section all nice and round, just like it was turned in a lathe.

I'd go to GKN, they do the top racecar stuff, but hey, what do I know.

Cheers,
Nev.
