Desperate need for a pair of shafts for my GTE. Just standard shafts for the 1600, joints would be a bonus.

Also I'm still after a set of standard anti-roll bar clamps.

Cash waiting! Will collect within 50 miles of DN19 7AA, or will pay postage on anything beyond :thumb:

Any shafts will fit fella.

Just run it on 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or diesel shafts.

They'll be getting a fair bit of hammer due to race use. I used 1400 shafts last time and they were ok... I just need a set and to know its origin incase I need new joints! :)

Just as a precision incase anyone else is in the same position, I spoke to Gary Dixon at Vauxcare (he runs a few Vauxhall rally cars) and he said that any Nova shaft will do for me - as its only when you're producing 150bhp or more when you'll find them too weak :)

Corsa shafts are no good though :(

EDIT: no longer looking for clamps though
