I'm trying to replace my drive shaft, but in Trinidad those kinds of parts are very hard to find, I can't even get a five forward gearbox for my A15 . Anyhow, does anyone know if there is any other drive shaft that can be used as a replacement or a substitute? Can I take a drive shaft from like a Datsun 1600 or a Laurel; a Cefiro or a Skyline and just use the shaft from it, cut it to the correct lenght and weld on the ends from my original drive shaft to it? I will be getting it balanced of course.

If antone has any suggestions I will appreciate it. Thanks.
