fitted all the bits and sat the car flat on the floor i moved the bits around untill i felt the inner and outer were sitting in the right place.

i then spot welded it stripped it all down welded it all up and refitted it all i then drove the car around on welded shafts for a week or so just to make sure all was good.

i then had the welded shafts copyed and made into one piece shafts

just to add tho the welded shafts took 1bar boost from a gt30 for ages. and the one piece shafts went on to snapping lol
Thanks mate ave got the mondeo shaft's so going to cut them up. il try and some sleeves made, the part I was thinking about was how far to put the shaft in the inner cv joint.
