Global gt driveshafts

hi guys my global gt rebuild is nearing its end but I have hit a slight snag. I need to track down a set of complete driveshaft as mine are a bit tired. They are usable but I don't know how long they will last with the strain my turbo motor will put on them. Trouble is I have no idea what the original donor for the driveshaft's is/was . If anyone has any idea what they are off or where I could get some I would greatly appreciate it if they could point me in the right direction

Does Ian make custom shafts?

I am sick of my striker ones going so I am contemplating getting some complete ones made up.

Is this possible?





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Ian crafts drive shafts from finest unbreakium. You'll be surprised at the weight and small dimensions of them, but they are certainly up to the abuse of a BEC and slicks.... the rest of my transmission, perhaps not.

Extra throttle on the startline to spin the rears helps with transmission failure! Or so I'm told
Yes Ian does the very best shafts! If you want his number just pm me

This company makes drive shafts for Autograss racers. If there is a tougher environment for drive shafts I would be surprised.

Not cheap but quality never is.

Is there a link to Ian Crafts drive shafts as I will need a custom set making at some point and it's always preferable to have one source to compare specs and prices.

The CV joints and rear wheel bearings used on the Global GT light were classic mini front, not sure if the complete shafts were used.

Cheers
Davie
