I know that. Just giving general info so others can know what to do when starting out.

I had several propeller shafts snap on me so I do not want to cut any corner.

Can you sell your driveshaft? I was surprised that DSS can build me a custom shaft for the same price as any other shaft. That means every shaft they do is custom.
