Prop shaft fabricators
Hi folks! Has anyone uses these prop shaft people?
http://www.propshaft.co.uk/
I have had a quote from them and they seem to be a lot cheaper than anyone else.. Are they dodgy or just good value?

Interested to know what cheap is?
As I need mine making soon.
Around £110 seems a good price for the budget aware locosters. If you quote was £50 I'd be worried.

I was quoted 55 quid plus vat to shorten an existing shaft and add a UJ and a type 9 splined end.
Too cheap?

Yes, we've used 'em 2 or 3 times for the car. Excellent work, knowledgable people and not the most expensive. They're also 10
minutes from my brother's house (where the car lives) 
Car propshafts are only part of their business, most of the business is making driveshafts etc. for machines, textiles and others. They've been
around for ever.

No, but I often see their van(s) out and about when I'm on my way to/from work!

I can vouch for these guys, they shortened my MX-5 propshaft and added an Escort UJ for about this money. I was pretty impressed with the work.

Looks like I am safe to use them then, there are some glowing recommendations above.
Although some are soooo good I am wondering if some of you are on their payroll!!
Seriously though cheers folks - assistance appreciated as ever.
