kawika Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 BLOW OUT PRICE!!! IM FINISHED WITH MY STARQEUST ADVENTURE... CAR IS GONE AND THIS IS ALL I HAVE LEFT. THIS IS A MUST PART IF YOUR PLANNING ON MAKING POWER. I PAID MORE TO MAKE THESE THEN IM SELLING THEM FOR. ONLY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT. ONCE THERE GONE THERE GONE. UNLESS SOMEONE STEPS UP AND PAYS A MACHINIST TO DESIGN AND MAKE A QUANTITY OF THESE LIKE I DID. I HAD THESE MADE LOCALLY BY AN AERO SPACE MACHINIST. THESE ARE MADE OF 6061 T6. IT COMES WITH STAINLESS STEEL STUDS,LOCK WASHERS AND NUTS. THEY ALSO HAVE STEEL INSERTS. THE THREADS ARE THE SAME AS STOCK SO STOCK BOLTS CAN BE USED. THE REASON FOR THE STUD DESIGN IS BECAUSE I GOT TIRED OF TRYING TO LINE UP THE HOLES WHEN PUTTING THE DRIVELINE ON. SAVES A LOT OF TIME. 180.00 SHIPPED IN THE U.S. http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/001.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/019.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/020.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/004.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/023.jpghttp://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc477/kawika7030/022.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawika Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Time out! Wow!! Been a crazy morning. All the flanges I have in my possession are spoken for at the moment. Pending Payment. BOHO please contact me. I do have one flange that is not in my possession and might be available. I'll know sometime today. If its available the first person in line is jdl007 followed by scott87star. I'll keep you posted. These were not as popular the first time I posted them. Thought it would be a home run with all the people who were making a lot of power. especially after all the R154 bellhousings that Bill made. I lowered the price 100.00 dollars and now I can't keep them around. As I said before I'm selling these at a loss. I had 11 made and it cost me 2100.00. That's 190.00 each. I originally had them posted at 289.00 plus shipping. wasn't trying to get rich. Didn't even sell one. With that being said. I called the machinist this afternoon. I asked him if I made 10 more, How much would it cost? He said they would be about 25.00 more than last time. He said he quoted me the price of 2100.00 and by the time he was done he didn't do well but since he told me that price he stuck by his word. He has the program to make more so If 10 people will commit with a little extra for my time I will consider having more made.

jdl007 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just let me know on mine. I would go on the list for another, if a second one is not available. Payment waiting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it just never made good business sense. When PST can make an entire custom steel driveshaft that bolts in like stock, and comes with 1310 or 1350 joints for $250-$300, a $289 flange just makes no sense at all. In fact a $180 flange doesn't make any sense either. I had this unit built out of all aluminum for $450. Glad you're getting them unloaded though. http://www.pstds.com/Images/aluminium_driveshaft.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think P.S.T is going to sell you a 1350 Yoke the custom made to length drive line with the U-Joints and the custom made flange to bolt it to your torque tube for 450.00. If so, show a picture of the one you bought with the flange connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it seems I caught up w/ this original post'n "Way Too Late." Otherwisw I would have been interested also.I hope we do get a pic w/ exactly what PST offered for the $450?

chiplee Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) That's a nice drive line with a1350 yoke! But how are you going to bolt it to the torque tube??? I don't think P.S.T is going to sell you a 1350 Yoke the custom made to length drive line with the U-Joints and the custom made flange to bolt it to your torque tube for 450.00. If so, show a picture of the one you bought with the flange connected. That's just how it's pictured on the website. It comes with the rear flange. Again, it shows up ready to bolt in, and they work with you to determine what that's going to take. I ended up sending them a full driveshaft so they could get the length right and see the bolt pattern on the rear flange. At a minimum, if you have a non-standard item, they will need your front yoke so they can cut it off and weld the splined portion to their front flange. For the rear flange they have various ready made options that they just drill to match your bolt pattern. Granted, the yoke and rear flange are steel, but again, when the whole job can be done for $450, it's hard to justify $289 for one of the flanges. Not to mention the fact that it's only $450 if you actually want the shaft in aluminum, which is really unnecessary. The steel shafts can be done for $300, and now that I've had one made, they know our driveshaft dimensions so you don't have to send them one. Here's mine.http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc82/chipleeiii/DSC00601.jpg Edited October 28, 2012 by chiplee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetspd150 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yes I remember this company a few years back. They were known for carbon fiber drives shafts as well. I recall that they could make custom drive shafts as well. Thank for bringing them back up. I forgot all about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, not trying to take the wind out of anyone's sails or anything. I'm sure the guys who purchased these rear flanges could call PST and get a better price because PST wouldn't have to include their rear flange or drill it to match our tq tube.

kawika Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Looks like your stock flange with a 1350 flange welded on. Was that extra? If not, someone who bought my flange has 270.00 to work with on yoke and driveline. I wouldn't say it makes absolutely no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
