Can't you get a mating part (to the male - external spline) and adapt it? Would be easier as many of the internal splines are made using specialised tooling so generally very expensive to make low quantities.

what sort of rear engine buggy? What engine and what gearbox.

We use this format all the time in autograss so can probably give you a cheap solution!

right, thought it would look like that!

the bike engined grassers are much the same.

Make the flanges either side of the sprocket to match sierra "lobro" type 6 bolt flanges (ones on disc brake rear end sierras) and then use sierra lobro CV joints (will rocommend using sierra rear hubs anyway, nice and easy to mount plus you can buy the mount plates from plenty of suppliers on here)

then get custom shafts made to the length you require. GB Engineering in Nantwich make them for £70 a piece, splined to suit the sierra cv's and they are unbreakable.
