I just spoke to them and got a quote of £85 each which I think is very reasonable

Nicely timed thread razman, i was going to search for the number, as i need some custom shafts. Are they gun drilled at £85 or just solid?

That price is for solid but I will get a gun drilled price as an option when I have made some accurate measurements.

Is that price from GB Eng?
Sounds like a good price to me. His "std" price for the grasser shafts is now £80, rang him the other day, but they are sierra spline both
ends.
The non-gundrilled ones will be MORE than strong enough, they are exceptionally well made, properly heat treated etc. To give you an idea, a lot of
the grasstrackers are putting 450+hp through the gundrilled shafts (same OD as the solid ones), and one new car out this year is sticking 604hp
through them
You won't break em!! (the lobros will shatter first!!!)
PS the gundrilled shafts are circa £160 each, quite a bit more, but as I said, unless you are making over a copnservative 300hp in a car over 750kg
you won't need the drilled ones.

Yep As I will only be going for around 300bhp the solid ones will be fine in my case.

Can you drop me a U2U when you ring him up to order yours, and I'll order mine at the same time, the more he gets in one go the quicker we get
them, as he has to make up a batch for the heat treatment company.
Dunno how far off you are Wadders?

I will gladly take your details and pass them on. I will need the length required and the spline count.
