Quick update, I called Lighthouse and they gave me £900 quote for factory shafts (not including the seal kit). Tried stealer, that was even worse. Called Quadratec, yes you can have the USA Alloy ones at a great price but you'll have to wait till the end of May!!!!!

Finally called Summit Racing who have them in stock and will be with me in 6 day. And just as cheap as Quadratec.

But is there a place that could straighten/fix my factory ones?

i would say not mate, last thing you want to do is put them back in. Once something is bent it will always be weakened anyway.

Did you check that spline count  :icon_winkle:

Just to finish off this thread. I'd like to say a massive thank you to Bubba for taking on the challenge of my disc conversion. To say its been a mission!!!! The first day everything went well until it was noticed that my axle shafts were bent!!!! So after ordering some Alloy USA ones from Summit Racing and getting them to Bubba only to find that they weren't a pair nearly made me cry. It was only the great engineering skills from Bubba they were made to fit.

I now have back brakes that really work well and if anyone asked if it was worth it I'd say yes, but and it's a big wholesome But, make sure you have the skill and know how to do it.

And the biggest thanks goes to Ali for cooking the best breakfast I've ever had and for allowing Bubba to spend his evenings and weekends doing my conversion.

Did you get universal shafts of equal length that have to be cut to size???

usually with a generous spline length to allow for the chop!

glad your sorted and stopping!
