New set has arrived! Front shaft uppgrade *Finland-Fix*

[jute91]

That long hole gives me headache :S broke 3 drill on 7 shafts... going to make 15 pieces at first.. 7 first are at this part of procedure..

[monticello]

okay, so i got the steel yesterday. Finally got time to work with it.
So i made drawing this morning for the grease nipple.

Are you trying to lube the splines?

[nando]

I still wish the splines covered the entire end, so those of us with spacers/thicker flex discs could use one.

[jute91]

well with this shaft you have only 10mm left to hit the bottom..
splines in gearing are 60mm long and this has about 51mm long..

[jute91]

and its you who desides what is your total driveshaft lenght.. you'll have to cut old shaft head off and weld a new one..

[325ixa]

that is going to be big problem. welding shaft requires lots of skill. i dont know any welder near me who could do that. chance of vibrations is quite high.

[nando]

surely a driveshaft shop can do it?

somebody did it on my original lengthened shaft, I don't have any vibration issues.

[nomansland92]

Any driveshaft shop can balance it rather cheaply actually and I'm sure they could weld it to, but i don't see how welding it would be difficult.

[325ixa]

like i said, near me. and we dont have driveshaft specialized shop. sorry if i made confusion.

[jute91]

[litu]

Very nice :) looks good

[jute91]

i made account to ebay and paypal. Almost created item, but then it says that i can only sell 10 items for 500$ per month... :(
so how many of you would like to pay direct into my bank account? it would be lot easier...
pay first and then i will send it? need to find out shipping cost first... please send me your direct address for that.. and quantity of course :)

[audiquattrot]

not that i'm buying this, but paypal is used to secure the buyer, and seller for that matter....having them send $ directly to your bank account will def deter anyone from really buying them....not to say you'd scam them but you are overseas for a lot of the folks here. Looks like a quality piece btw.

[jute91]

I have used paypal just couple times, but i will sell them through it if the buyer wants.. just need find out how to calculate shipping cost's... maybe FedEx?
