Hi,
I need to get my 5-speed prop shaft rebalanced and was wondering if anybody has any recommendations or wheres good to go for this. I'm up in Aberdeenshire so it's a courier delivery job and I'm not really bothered where they are located in the UK as I can't seem to find any in Scotland.

Cheers
Innes

Innes,
bear in mind that the 5 speed prop can be split at the splines and it will be out of balance if it's put back on the wrong splines after balancing.

Before it's balanced, make sure that the two hookes joints are aligned properly and then mark which way it's assembled. I think there may be two combinations of splines that align the joints correctly (180 degrees apart) but I may be wrong and there may only be one option.

My shaft had been put back together with the joints missaligned when I got it.

Please let me know if that's not clear!!!

Mike

I used these guys to make me a completely new propshaft for my Seven and can recommend them, but they are in London.
