The shaft shop suggested I lop the ends off and have domestic u joints fitted. The price was very close to a new set of spicers so.... After a kinda' chilled response from the original vendor that sold me the U joints, I started shopping around... Many thanks to Marino at Pantera East ( MAP motorcycle parts ) for setting me up with a nice pair of spicer shafts at a very competitive price. Sixteen bolts later, my car is smooth as can be.... Thanks Marino and Pantera East
