Re: Aluminum driveshaft

Talk to them. You probably won't find a shaft already built so it'll need to be custom built.

Re: Aluminum driveshaft

They will have you take some measurements. They will already know the ujoint sizes and such. Give 'em a call... EZPZ. Then you just have to fork over the cash.
