i need a hybrid one that goes from suzuki SJ jeep gearbox to hopefully a vauxhall magnum axle - so this info is realy useful.
anyone any expeiance of doing this? would they want the suzuki prop, and the vaux prop to make one out off? or would they have bits and bobs on the shelf to knock it up with?
sorry about the thread jack!
Nick

There are normally plenty of local places that can do this kind of work, just need to look in yellow pages, then give them a ring and pop in if you can and try and get an idea if they know what they are talking about first (most are pretty good).
You normally need to take both props in and tell them the required length and they will sort it from there. When my brother in law got his done (4age, T50 box to avenger axle) it cost around £35 and they did it same day, a few years ago now though

i need a hybrid one that goes from suzuki SJ jeep gearbox to hopefully a vauxhall magnum axle - so this info is realy useful. Put them both next to each other and decide the best place to join together (with a good few inch overlap). Cut them with a hacksaw and measure external diameter if thin one and inner diameter of fat one (your screwed at this point if they're the same size) and make up/ get made a couple of spacers and weld |
