Cut 'n' Shut Driveshaft's - SVA/MOT Pass?
Not sure if this is true, but what's the best way of getting a pair of good strong cut 'n' shut driveshaft's made up and will
they pass the test?
cheers.
PS. anyone local in Essex for the fabrication?

Would the strong way be to true up the 2 ends on a lathe and cut a chamfer. Put some sleeving tube on. Weld the vee and dress it back. Slide the
sleeving tube over and weld that over the cut and shut bit then get them balanced.
Probs easier to get IMS, Bailey Morris etc tomake some new ones up.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I was under the impression that this was not allowed for the SVA but I would like to be wrong

Luego IRS Locost uses cut and shut shafts. Mine have been OK so far.May possibly get some new ones made at some point .And yes they are OK for SVA and
MOT

Iirc, someone on here about a year back had a propshaft that let go but his car was road legal and i think he cut and shut it himself.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
