I'm looking for a good secondhand prop shaft for our Australian friends , they have a car with a bent prop and no spares available . I'm more than happy to arrange logistics of collection or postage and purchase or if anyone has one they can deal directly with Iain , any help greatly appreciated my number is 07961713441 James

James, If anything turns up on the continent, I still have stuff to send to Iain, so this could go with it...

Just found this thread. When I restored my Augusta I lost all my tooth fillings at 42MPH and could not balance my prop shaft and eventually put on a solid shaft with UJs and it has been no trouble at all in last 15 yrs

Hi. I had the same problem as Brian I also had adaptor rings for the spiders made and got anew modern one made but I still have the problem at around 50. Unfortunately I changed lots of things at the same time so too many unknowns! I Have messaged Propshaft Services (no answer) who made mine to ask about run out as Measuring the run out on the shaft tube O/D and the O/D of adaptor rings at both ends I am getting between +/_ 17 and 20 thou (ins); Would this run out cause nasty vibration? You can drive through it but I don't want to I need to sort it so I can do A roads in comfort. Thanks. Dale

Hi. Sorry I forgot the main thing did you get a propshaft. I have a very old and neglected one ( from car probably around no 500 flat ran and thin half shafts) it needs blasting and would then need to be balanced. Welcome if you want it ,let me know if nothing better. Cheers. Dale

Hi James. No problem it's down for you. As long as you are happy for it to get blasted and probably will need balancing after that, but I don't suppose 34 HP will twist it! I'm about 2 miles M25 J11, Where are you? Let me know how you would like to play it. Cheers. Dale
