Beta drive shafts

[Cadami]

Dumb question: Is the Beta shaft in 2 pieces and welded together? If not, what is the weld for?

Weld? I dont remember there being any weld on the beta shafts i used on my last car

Thanks Neil, Any recommendations for drive shaft manufactoring?

I used GKN driveline, they made me two custom shafts, and supplied the joints for around £650. These were made with the strongest material available...
I supplied them with a couple of old cv's as samples for the size and flange to flange measurements between the wheel & gearbox & they calculated the length of the bars - they havent been fitted yet, but will be soon......

There are quite a few other companies that make shafts though, depends where you are.
