snug as id like 1 end, (when i mixed and matched) i need to keep the push in type joint at the wheel end as a lobro joint is to big to fit thro my
de-dion tube Mr dev do you have there tel no for comany who makes the shaft?? cheers
Geoff Berrisford is on 01270 841081
Not sure if he is tooled up to do the spline for the non-lobro end though, worth checking though. My shafts have always been lobro both ends so no
idea on that one.
I was anticipating the same problem with my XE, and have seen a lot of broken shafts after welding on the back of grassers and the damage that they
do, so £140 for a pair of nice purpose made shafts seems good value.
