Propshaft Cost
phoenix70 - 23/4/11 at 06:00 PM

Going to get my Propshaft made up next week, haven't got a price for it yet, just wondered how much I should expect to pay for it. Its a two piece with a centre bearing hooking up a Sierra diff with the prop adapter on the bike engine. MK Indy is the car.

The reason I'm asking is I'm trailering the car to them, so they might think they can add on a few quid as I'm unlikely to drive away with it.

Cheers

I recently got mine for £110 + vat brand new made bespoke for my car to a drawing I gave them.

I was a single prop though so I would expect yours to cost a little more.

I used Dunning and Farbank in Leeds did a very nice job

I also got my prop from Dunning & Fairbanks, very good service indeed,

Mine was a single piece prop from a Ford Type 9 box to a Sierra diff, so fairly standard fitment,

Cost was £137 all in which included Vat & delivery.

Just ordered my single piece type 9 to English Diff, £153 all in. Hope to get it end of next week. They've got excellent feedback so hopefully no issues.

Might be worth paying a little extra for a trt prop.

i just got the s2000 from the donor shortened. £60 all in

Ouch, just got back from getting my car measured up for the prop. It's nothing special, just a two piece prop with a centre bearing.

£430

Are they having a laugh or what?

Cheers

wtf? who was that with?!

mine is a single piece prop, but a lot longer than most on here, mines about 1m i think. was £130 from D&F a few years ago

Baileys 120 quid

TRT props are more expensive, but you need one in a BEC IMO.

Mine was a two peice TRT with centre bearing and was £250-75ish with the postage.

In my opinion you shouldn't scrimp on a tube that transfers all that Torque/BHP and will be spinning at silly RPM within a few inches of your leg/nuts.

£200 for mine (No TRT)

£230 for a 2 piece, with slider and TRT from D&F....

I got my 2 piece TRT made by AUTOPROP.... all new parts with UJ's that can be greased.... a lot are sealed, and narrow style centre bearing.

The guys name is Mike very friendly and helpful.... not the most speedy service but 1week is not bad at all if your mid build with a car.

I think it was around £170 + Postage = £180 all inc
