[QUOTE="Horus, post: 1568971, member: 17219"] I'm the exact opposite. I think he's gotten one of the shafts I've had him make right. It is currently on a shelf at ACRaO snapped in half at the weld between tube and male splined portion. First shaft I got was 6 inches too long. The second front shaft fit but with only only about two inches of slip spline engagement. When I reluctantly ordered the 1410 rear shaft I currently run I got to talk to Tom on the phone. I specifically told him I needed 35.5 inches nominal length. When I got the shaft the tag on it said 37.25. Sure enough upon fitment, too long. I was at a deadline so I pushed the rear axle back an inch and a half and have been running that way ever since. Between them being flatly wrong 3 out of 4 times or just plain failing at the weld (front shaft on Waterfall at TSF) I can't endorse his business regardless of what his general reputation is. I know better. No more Tom Woods shafts for me. [/QUOTE]
