propshafts
I've currently got the two-section type prop straight from a Mk II Escort.
Somehow this is supposed to become a single section prop shaft of a more appropriate length for a locost.
How have people overcome this feat of wizardry?
Is there anyone who does this sort of thing for a decent (read low  ) amount of money?
Thanks for any advice and/or words or warning.

Measure how long you want the prop taking into account it slides in the box,cut the middle bit out marking a line down the entire length before
cutting,put it in some 2"angle iron if you have a bit of tube bigger than prop slide it on the outside line up marks and weld easy peasy

Dunno about prices though. The propshaft ISN'T going to be something I'm gonna be bodging so it'd be nice to have an idea of a price if you do get

I was advised I could get one made to measure and delivered from AutoProps of Gatwick for £106 inc. VAT and delivery. Couldn't find their full
details so managed to get one through the free-ads for £30
Look out for anyone breaking an 1100.

I got mine from reco-prop. All brand new parts, to length, at 123 quid plus vat.
Again, I agree. I dont want to be cut in half cos my welding wasnt what I thought it was!
