DRive shaft identification

[Hoonigan]

Hello,

Hope someone can help, I'm looking for some drive shafts for my GT40 replica, I know they need to be 25 spline, 447mm long 32mm diameter and take a 100mm CV joint, I can get them direct from the car manufacturer but they want silly money imo £400+, and I'm sure they had be bought off the shelf for a fraction of the cost?

Cheers

That sounds like a standard joint and you should be able to find plenty of suppliers in the £50 - £100 if you search for GKN lobro.

Edit: Sorry, just noticed you're after the shafts, not the joints. Suggest you try Prolinx to see whether it is a standard part. If not, you can get them made relatively cheaply - mine are similar to yours but needed to be custom made to mix-n-match different splines on the two ends and cost £160 +VAT each a few years ago from GB Engineering.
