335 Coversion

[dannyboy759]

Ive got a complete 535 manual for a 335 conversion in my LHD 325!
The only thing that bothers me is the propshaft, does anyone have any info on this ie useing the 535 one and getting it shortened and where i could get it done and what costs are involved.
I know its best to use an M3 one but the dont grow on trees and its just adding more cost to the project, or is it the best way to go.
Any advice welcome Cheers

a M3 one can usually be found for between £100 and 150. you'll spend £40 - 100 on getting someone to make one up for you.

chards of bristol, on st philips causeway. Mine is there now. £80 for shorteneing and balancing, and they can even replace/ uprate all the joints if you wish.

if its only the prop thats the problem then its no worries.

mine may be available in a few weeks? still thinking about that?

but once you find a prop place its easy!
i found a place in newcastle / durham and they were great
