Group buy from The Drive Shaft Shop,SPF,BDR ....
 

If anybody has an interest in upgrading your axles, Frank from the Drive Shaft Shop is offering a group buy for those who are interested (all makes). The discount will be based on the number of orders.

FYI They now produce axles for Backdrafts.:D

This is what Frank from the Drive Shaft Shop had to say about the Axles.

“We are using factory GKN outer CV housings that are fully hardened units of a superior material, and not soft edged like the original outer. We installed full chromoly internals in the CV and also changed the bar to one of our rolled spline torsion center bars in a larger 36 spline that has absolutely no diameter changes on it, making it act almost like a sway bar being able to torsionally twist during shock loads. These axles also feature our custom made Porsche-style 108mm inner CV with full chromoly internals that are rated for over 6000 ft-lbs of torque. A standard 108mm CV joint is only designed for approximately 2500ft-lbs of torque and for most standard cars this would be fine. The problem is that this is a purpose built car, made to be beat on, tracked and enjoyed. So if you're looking to take your Backdraft Cobra to the next level, and have reservations about your drivetrain being able to handle the power, then The Drive Shaft Shop has your answer....”

Oh no, an elitist group buy ;)

I'm about to order 300M center shafts (I have the CV joints) from them. Just talked to them today in fact but haven't ordered yet. Could the shafts be part of a "group buy"?

I am in for a set...

Jay please don't start that again:eek:

I will check with Frank, but i would bet he will will want to sell a complete unit Larry.

Thanks! I know he'll sell me just the center shafts from my conversion with him. I just don't know if he'll do it as part of a group buy.
Let me know what you find.
Larry

"Group Buy",..... sounds familiar. ;)

Hey Larry,
Frank said it needs to be complete axles.

That's cool. Thanks for checking!
Larry

What is the current count of interested parties and pricing? And at what count does the pricing change?

Only 2 so far, need 10 to get 10% off. Pricing varies from car manufacture and model (example pre 600 BDRs axles cost less than 600 and above cars).

Eric I see that you car is 436 I believe they are a few hundred dollars cheaper then 600 and above which are 1100 without discount. I will call today for a price.

Frank was out today, so no info.

I guess there is not enough interest for a group buy, so I am closing this thread.
