Yeah I know what you are say - mondy stuff would be a lot cheaper thanks for that info. And i have all the relevant cv's just really wanted to know if any one knew of a company that could make them who already have the info to hand if not I will cut n shut some so my other option has a template to make some from. I am not going to run cut and shut shafts although I know a number of people have done this with out failures, I just don't want mine to be the one that does.

you would only have to measure total length including cv's and trilobes, then send the joints and have them made up. it's that simple really. plus with cups on the shafts are quite long, so have a decent margin for error.

That sounds fair enuff, it was the margin of error i wasn't looking forward to, I had it in my mind they need to be mm perfect.
I have intended on getting the mounting of the engine and box sorted and sat in place temporarily so i can go from there with things, might see if my mate who has a half broken mondeo still has his shafts too then have a play.

Cheers for the help

the cups for the shafts have about 3" inside, so just measure to the middle and then you have an inch of play either side.

I would have to but a cut some FRS shafts just to bin them when the new uns are made, not some thing i really want to do. And as for measuring them up and giving dimension to a firm to work from is a bit of a non starter as i have no real point to measure from as yet.

Any one got any real technical info or know of a firm that makes them with out the need for all this malarkey?

Cheers dudes
