Default HUP Halfshafts

I have contacted the same company that Jonathon Moore used, and asked for a price for another pair.

Depending on the quote, we may get several sets made as unit cost should be lower.

Will keep MLU posted

Thanks

John,

I think you need to team up with Jonathan & Phil in having new ones made.

But, as a very long shot, if you send me the dimensions of the shaft I can check a recently acquired stock of spares.

Thanks Hanno,

The broken shaft is some distance away, but I will see if I can get the dimensions to you

Same here John, even basic lenght and diameter would help to ID the one or two in stock (of which I suspect are for C15A).

Hi John, Ι have my Halfshafts out of the axles at the time, so can make any measurements for you.

If you decide to go for new made ones, I'm ready to order one set.
