Can anyone recommend a shop for a new rear shaft for a K20? Going 14 bolt and need to shorten it.

was also thinking of adding a long travel slip joint while I was at it to increase the contact area extending the life of the shaft. Good idea or too much drag?

Yes, I've used them many times over the years. Check out their web site. Good tutorial on measuring.

Little closer is General Driveshaft, in Monrovia
and Driveshaft Specialist in Azusa

I've only used the Monrovia place but have had family use the Azusa one

I have had 2 made by Wenco Ind. in the San Fernando valley. Very pleased, and far less than Cannon Engineering ( North Hollywood) that I used to use in years past.

I had a mail order shaft from Wenco for my 240z with swapped in turbo T5 and 1310 joint on the rear. I was very impressed with the honesty and quality of work. I had an issue and the guy remembered our call and that it was his mistake. Made it right, made it fast, and my next shaft will most likely be a Wenco as well.

Another vote for Wenco. Used them many times over the years.

IIRC, Wenco charged me more than Cannon Engineering. I've used both with good results.
