Back to your corners please gentlemen.
While we are on the subject I'm wondering if anyone can help .
I've just had a basic shorten done on a tailshaft that I suspect is seriously out of balance. It was done by a local firm that are supposed to know what they are doing.I've been told that if it's done in a lathe then the unit does not usually need balancing? Anyhow I just need to move on and get this problem fixed.
Any suggestions

it will always need balencing, they are still welded together

it seems common to have balencing problems after getting a shaft modified

unfortunately there seems to be some dodgey tail shaft modifiers out there

i think ange took his back a number of times for re balencing

im lucky ive had a few done by the same guy and never had a problem

yes sir!
but perhaps you would like to know(if you didnt already) that most(if not all) have non replaceable unis in em, maybe it might be worth your while to get a fresh one made with some commodore unis or something in em.
then you have a nice new shaft with decent size(not saying 1200 unis are too small) unis in it.
does gatton have a tailshaft shop??

josh i'm sorry to say but it's alot easier to just get a new one made up i looked for ever for a new one and as pepper said they are a throw away item (yeah i had trouble beliving it to) it should only cost you about $250 for a new one. the one i got made up has holden 6 unis in it witch you can replace if you ever need to

wierd, i could sware my ute one had replacable unis....same as some L series unis infact

could get a bluebird or jap diff'd stanza tailshaft and have an A series end put on it....pretty much be a ute tailshaft then

or shorten a 120y one as that would also do the job, just have smaller unis

yep stock unis are crap, often places bore out the fittings and put larger replaceable ones in

had shafts made for around 200 from scratch, definately worth it
