Just take your shaft down there. If they are making it longer they can use any size tube that is close to the original. |

he said that the "nubs" on the end of the yokes won't fit right into the I.D. of the standard tubing.

Ok, I would still take it down and let him measure the tubing diameter. Maybe he has exactly what you need. If not you can al;ways buy a piece in metric from a metal yard |

If this drive shaft shop does'nt have a lathe to make this happen you need to look some where else. You could use 2 5/8 11 gauge with a little lathe work. However I would use 2 3/4 1/4 wall with a little lathe work and you would have a pretty stout shaft! I could provide this service but I'm in middle GA. |
