propshaft makers and diff ratio supplier

[mnrvortxf20c]

hi all.im at the point now with my hayabusa caterham build where i need a propshaft, it needs a center bearing up front to compensate for the angle between front prop adaptor and diff flange! is there any particular place i should be looking at to make it? or things i should look out for?
also im after a diff ratio for my current caterham lsd, anywhere i can find one used for not mega money 3.38 or 3.14 ratio. cheers

Ive run with 3.3 sierra 3.2 freelander and 3.1 sierra with a hayabusa engine and 3.1 is your best bet for a busa if you are doing fast circuits as I found a 3.3 will run out of revs.


Im on the look out for a 3.3 CW&P to swap into my current car and noticed a 3.1 on ebay tonight .

saw that but i think its too dear, unless i used it as an open diff and sold my lsd? but id prefer to stick with lsd. been offered a 3.14 ratio for £300 plus .£200 fitting
how do you think the car would perform with a 3.14 open diff? cheers

Bailey Morris are great, very helpful. But not cheap.

Consider a TRT.

Make sure you are clear about the centre bearing. Ain't much room in there

if using on track an open diff isnt ideal, I dont think £300 is expensive for a 3.14 diff I couldnt get one when i was looking a couple of years back. personally for £300 I would buy it and swap the Lsd.

also depending on what you have im pretty sure Caterham shafts will not fit into a sierra diff so It will prob have to come apart anyway ?
