I've had some made. But I would need to know what shafts you currently have.

Looks familiar. What are you after exactly? I only had the bare shaft made and built it into the stock joints. There are a number of options for you. Best to email me with what car you have, the hubs, diffs etc and I can advise what you can do. I know API have supplied you with some replacement standard parts, so you should have joints to use.

They seem to be able to take in excess of 500lbft.

I was waiting for someone to highlight that.
Just to underline.... I am referring to hard core track use.
Regards,
Shaun.
