Shortening A Prop Shaft

[Guest Phil in Cheshire]

Hi

 

Sorry about this having nothing to do with my hood but while waiting for the good old DVLA (to issiue me with a vin No) have been helping a friend with his project (A small block Chevy motor in an Anglia)

 

Motor and box are in and runnig but we need some help in finding somebody to make a Prop shaft, does anybody know anyone (preferably in the north west) who can do this.

 

Thanks Phil

There is a firm in Morecambe, based on white lund... all they manufacture are custom propshafts, out of any material ie carbon etc.... i think its called GTS, but youll find them in the yellow pages

You could try Leeds Tool and Gauge Ltd. tel Leeds? 560266 571694, a friend had one made there, it is a good job. I believe they make them for Pilgrim too.

There also North west propshafts in Coppull, they are only about 2 miles away from me Phil, so I could make you a brew instead!

Thanks for all the contacts

 

Jim will give you a ring and check your in early next week if thats OK, Kev (Spannerman ) is planning on coming with me so best put the milkman on standby.

Ok.

 

have you idle buggers had my e-mails about the meal?

Propshaft technology in Rotherham is ver good!

 

I've used them twice, first was to have a prop made £80 and the second to have one shortened £35 each done in about two days, also very good workmanship.

Phil, nothing to do with prop shafts but you said you were waiting for a VIN number. If you move you will get one quicker, I sent a V627? for build up inspection to the local DVLA at Ipswich last week, the next day had a call on my mobile from a very helpfull man who sent me a VIN the next day in the post. Result fron the usually unhelpfull.

Hi Phil,

 

I think you'll find that you are allowed to drive it there, if he sais you can't then he's wrong, just turn up in it. I've got my built up inspection soon (after SVA) in Peterborough and I'm going to drive it. They also gave me my chassis number a couple of months ago.

Hi all

Prop shaft is sorted and can recomend them North West Propsfafts only cost £38 to shorten and balance it.

VIN is now sorted as well, and SVA is early March.

Cant wait to smile and be legal ( if you have been there you know what i mean)

Phil

PS thanks for the tea Jim
