Driveshaft company needed.
Discussion
I need to get a driveshaft solution to a problem im currently having a fight with.
Basically the original type of driveshaft was a two piece affair supported at its outboard end with a bearing inside the diff case.
As i dont happen to have the driveshaft i need, ive found a simplish solution that would appear to suffice.
Basically ive got a driveshaft (solid) with a male spline at either end and a driveshaft flange with a sealing face and a same size male spline on the end of it.
My solution is to cut the spline from the flange and get the other end of the d.shaft friction welded to the flange. Job done......ish.
Does anyone know of a suitable company for such a job? I dont want to attempt to weld it myself as its not really a good idea methinks!
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Just a thought mate, but have you considered the fabricated shaft would not be correctly balanced? This would cause a hell of a lot of vibration, possibly diff failure. Just a thought mate.
Good luck, Paul
Yeah i had given that some consideration, it would have to be balanced after fabrication for sure.
