Default BK2 axles... options

I can't find any BK2 axles anywhere :-(

With the stock of BK2 axles apparently all gone, what are the options to push the driveshaft far enough into the outdrive to gain enough droop?

You can get really close to our droop with the stock axles to be fair, not bang on but close but the issue with the B4 ones is that if you raise the tranny you have to limit the shocks.

As the others have said though just get the B4 ones drilled and run thin nuts.

But we are also fully on sorting the issue out as well.

Didn't know your car used BK2 axles any way

Cheers Hugh

I wondered what those crazy shafts were all about

Drilling the shafts looks like the easier option though.

But this doesn't seem to be a custom axle, it seems to be a custom Bone!

I don't want to know how you did it... Yes! i want to know!

is it an aluminium tube! have you cutted the bone! and... glue the bone to the tube?

Thank you for your help.
