Thanks for the comments Mickmate. I found a drive shaft shop that will shorten the XJ components to my dimensions. No luck locating E-type parts, the only quote I received was $1475 for two half shafts and two lower control arms. I had to pass on that deal.

Rumor has it that you are in the planning stage to make tubular lower control arms, put me on the list. I'm sure there are other that want to get their name on the list also.
