Question Close to my driveshaft solution!

Hi everyone.

Well I have extended my broken short driveshaft by 20 mm and the fit now appears to be correct, problem is I do not trust the welding and as the first driveshaft 'pulling' created a number of air vents in the gearbox so that needed replacement too, I am loathe to test this particular shaft.

I have therefore decided to purchase a one off from a manufacturer, with aan overall compressed length of 605 mm. So far I have had a quote of £230.00 plus vat and delivery, so nigh on £280.00.

While I am prepared to pay this sum to correct the problem once and for all, I can't help but feel it's a little steep price wise.

Does any builder know of a manufacturer who may be a little more realistic in their pricing? Then again perhaps it's me who's being unreasonable.

Any advice greatfully received.
