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

Bubba · « **Reply #31 on:** April 30, 2012, 06:19:59 PM »

its 30spline i think i am right to think that is the standard shaft spline count for tj

Man I feel like I have been dry humped as I gave away the last pair of OE shafts I had kicking about!!!!

call Dan at Wrex racing I reckon he'll be able to sort you out something at reasonable $$

isle of man · « **Reply #35 on:** April 30, 2012, 06:34:44 PM »

Imagine how I feel - do you know what? "good luck to them" I will receive twice as much as I have given....karma will be mine.

Bubba · « **Reply #37 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:07:08 PM »

std 30 spline, I envisage me not needing them at the end of this year ish, but everything changes.....lets see what does and doesn't break first

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 30, 2012, 07:50:53 PM »

Asylum · « **Reply #40 on:** April 30, 2012, 08:49:53 PM »

Uhm I'm a bit late but could have helped you out Cockney as have a spare set of shafts

sorry!

Glad you got it sorted for a good price though mate

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #41 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:13:45 PM »

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.

willo · « **Reply #42 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:21:24 PM »

how do you mean they weren't a pair

you do realise TJ rear shafts are handed...

wildwood · « **Reply #43 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:27:23 PM »

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!

Cockney Boy · « **Reply #44 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:47:03 PM »

Willo, One shaft had 10 holes in it (5 blind and 5 threaded) the other just had 5 threaded holes in it.
