Im looking at having to get a "one piece" tailshaft made. L 5 speed into brumby.
Rather than getting my brumby one piece cut and lengthened (cost & balancing issues), im trying to find something else with the same slip yoke specs that can simply be cut down to the right length (cheaper and stronger). Also id like to have rebuildable unis that isnt possible with a subaru tailshaft. (i think??). Id prefer not to use a 2 piece shaft without having to fabricate a "subi boys spec" tailshaft bearing mount.
Subaru front yoke "specs" (ea81 4 speed, Ea82 5 speed, EJ22 auto, STI 6 speed checked)
22/24 (22 teeth total, 11 teeth then 1 tooth space then 11 teeth then 1 space) 15mm setback of spline from snout, 80mm of spline internal.
Subaru tailshafts approx specs
Model, "B", "A", "C"
EA81 4 speed, 150, 1140, 35
EA82 5 speed, 140, 1360 (620+740), 40
EJ22 Auto, 135, 1355 (585+770), 35
EJ20 6 speed, (same as ej22 Auto)
"research" has led me to here;

That datsun / nissan use the same transmission yoke and hopefully still use a R160 diff yoke (otherwise swapping an R180 diff snout plate isnt hard). Datsun ute unis are apparently replacable but sedan ones arent.
but, the only datsun tailshaft details i could find were on here:
datsun1200.com wiki
None long enough, damn
Anyone know / heard of someone using a datsun tailshaft cut down? what model it was off? Or something else that could be cut down?
Just wondering, what's involved in lengthening the stock tailshaft? is it just a matter of measure, cut, weld in some thick walled pipe and check for balance/run out? if it's that simple I know someone who could probably do the work.
