If he gets 10 will the discount be deeper? I have to compete this against my local quote to have one made (with similar if not exact material) for $285. @$275 total I'm just too close to not deal locally.

...now if he can drop it to $250 total since we're ordering 10 then I'm in 100%

Price is $250 + $25 shipping for 5 or more. He gave this price because he's doing a run of same shafts, not onesie. I don't think anyone can beat this. I did some checking and at first he quoted me $300 so thats what prompt me to ask for discount if we can get a group buy. Thanks.

If these people want to join in this groupbuy, please PM me and let me know your status. If you don't have measurement, he will call you for it and payment, shipping info.

RS6tofj80- PM'd me for rear DC but no name, phone, and measurement.
SeaDrifter- PM'd me for interest but no name, phone, and measurement.


These people express interest on here but I did not get PM'd so I presume you lost interest unless I hear from you. Thanks.

I see average of 31.5" to 31.75" of the 8 orders I have. Measurement (red lline below) is from "end to end" of driveshaft installed so he has the correct length. This is is swap so you'll have both flange to bolt on.

 

[jtwopark]

is there a way to extend the GB? I dont have my thirds at the moment! they are getting lockers and regear and can't get the measurements until next tuesday!

PM me your info( name, phone, front and or rear) so I'll added you to the list to get the price then just call him when you have the measurement.

He can work on yours next Fri as he's planning to ship out the 8 orders I have next Fri. Thanks.

 

[oilbrnr]

Not to change the topic here, and Peter thanks for putting this together, but why the interest in a double cardan rear? I guess I'm curious as to what kind of lift guys are doing in the rear to get the flanges that far out of parallel to necessitate needing a DC.

If the TC flange and 3rd flange are parallel, the red line and green line are the same length. It is a parallelogram.
Is this the dimension needed?
Thanks

Yes, when the DS is straighten, the angle is 180 but the length remain the same. You can also confirm your measurement with him when he call you for payment. Thanks.

I'm right at 3" in the front with no bumper, etc.

Thanks to Peter for putting this together!!

 

[bmw635]
