Now I find I have a shaft the correct length.
The thing is its an early style shaft with inboard retaining clips on the unies. and doesn’t have the rubber insert at the diff end.
The unies. are in good condition and are the greaseable kind.
So what is the benefit of using the newer style shaft keeping in mind that it will cost me about $300 to have it shortened and fit new unies.

Re: More on prop shafts
There was a topic in which this very subject arose probably 12 - 18 months ago. I've had a quick look, but couldn't find it.
I personally don't think it makes a lot of difference - certainly not $300 worth! I have fitted both types with no noticeable differences in how the car drives.
