Driveshaft modifiers
I will be needing Driveshafts that connect Rover 214 splined hubs to my sierra 4 X 4 Lsd bec diff for my next project.
Anyone recommend a good company that can supply adapters or modified driveshafts?
I do not want any cut'n'shut merchants!

cheers Liam!
(only one thing I will say is I can't guarantee he will have the tooling for that job, I know he has the stuff for all the ford splines but I
don't know about rover stuff)

Thanks for all the info and pictures!
I do not think the rover and ford splines are the same and that I will need different length shafts anyway because I want the R1 dead centre of my
rear engined car.
I will give GB a call

I think Nitram's worry with cut and shut shafts is snapping them.
Not Sooooo much of a problem with bike engines but in autograss most of the cut and shut shafts that I have seen have broken at some point. Usually on
a particularly grippy startline, or when touching wheels with another car.
The damage done when a shaft breaks will often far outweigh the cost of getting a pair made to order.

It is not just the snapping aspect, keeping them straight and balanced is just another issue.
