JEZR 10 Posted October 12, 2015 Any ideas where I can get drive shafts for the VR6? Hunting hi and low and really don't want bespoke shafts for £800 from America!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEZR 10 Posted October 12, 2015 Anyone used J&R from Birmingham? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted October 12, 2015 There was a thread on here regarding these a couple of days ago mate. Came well recommended by quite a few and are very cheap! I have one on the passenger side, and although its good for the money, I'd recommend getting it powdercoated as its bare metal and corrodes quite quickly.

JEZR 10 Posted October 12, 2015 Cheers for that. I had a hunt for threads and got fully confused! All the kit on the underside is going to get powder coated or plasticoated ( once I've found out how much! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 12, 2015 Here is the link to the shafts: http://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/driveshafts-8/?page=6 And the thread: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?92588-Cv-joint-or-not-to-cv-joint Seem like a mega bargain to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEZR 10 Posted October 12, 2015 Cheers Jim. I think those endorsements do it for me. Ordering now! This should near complete the underside front end tidy up. Sump cover is looking shabby too. Might just Hammerite that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 12, 2015 Seems a new VR6 sump on eBay is about £40. A hammerited one will never look as good as a new one.... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEZR 10 Posted October 12, 2015 True! At this rate I might put some casters on the roof and drive it upside down!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yandards 0 Posted October 14, 2015 Cheers Jim. I think those endorsements do it for me. Ordering now! This should near complete the underside front end tidy up. Sump cover is looking shabby too. Might just Hammerite that? I've had a couple of shafts from them for my previous daily driver A3's - quality is ok and had no issues with them in terms of fitment. One of them was a solid shaft instead of a hollow tube so was heavier but still managed to cope with the torque from the 170bhp diesel ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEZR 10 Posted October 15, 2015 They've arrived (along with everything else) and I'll be doing the paint thing over the weekend. Would be nice to get this lot bolted on before the Resto show at Bath & West. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
