Hah, I been quoted 200 to weld on an end and balance, and that's in Perth where everything is ridiculously expensive compared to the rest of the country.
i just paided 270 to have my shaft shortened and new flange welded on.
hen was your spacer hub centric? i can't see it being much of a drama? could add some strange harmonics i guess???
1 peice tailshafts arn't really ideal anyway even more so in high revving setups.
Yeah, hubcentric (had flange recesses that matched both diff flange and tailshaft flange). I suspect the bolts may have worked loose, possibly because the spacer was alloy, but I'm really just guessing. Let go at 6000RPM and the dyno operator was still pretty shaky when he rang.
Moral of the story for me was "spend the $200 and do it properly instead of spending three evenings making something borderline".
Hen right, its not that big a deal to get extended.
I'm in the same situation with my Hilux conversion.
I got a quote for universal drivelines in Geebung, $200 to lengthen and balance, and mine is a 2 piece, which is more expensive to balance....
