SupporterI was talking to another forum member the other day about this and he told me he has a D1 front shaft fitted by MR Automotives in QLD. This would make a cheap alternative as D1 shafts are everywhere. Has anyone else done this and are there any issues with doing it.
Cheers, David.

Naa, a TW D2 shaft is only around $600 buying here from Jeep Konnection in Melbourne.
I'm getting one direct because I'm speccing a standard LR t/case flange (for a Deefer) and my length is slightly different @ 640mm.
Having said that, the HD GKN or Hardy Spicer unis should only be around $60 ?? retail, at a guess.
Centring bearing is about the same I think from Hardy Spicer.
The advantage of a TW shaft is a wider operating angle (which I need) and longer working length (better plunge/extension lengths) as well as the centring bearing being greasable and the uni's are the next size up 1310 Spicers, which are available anywhere.

Realistically I do need a new one that is longer and stronger down the line but at the moment I need cheap and easy as the car has to be ready by the middle of next month for a comp. That is of course if my new ring n pinion Ever turn up from lucky8
So was the answer 'yes you need three of those' ?
