Help finding an Outboard Drive Shaft
I am trying to source 2 outboard drive shafts for my project. Here is a dimensional drawing of the shaft

5.5 inches Spicer 1” 22 spline. The chassis came with with some U Joint drive shafts similar to an Elva mk8 shaft, but they will not work on the fabricated uprights and it seems I must find them to use the uprights with CV joints. I’ e got to think they are of the shelf, but from what car?
Thank you
Paul

Paul -- Pegasus Racing carries dye penetrant (aka, "dye pen") crack testing materials. (Other companies do also, McMaster-Carr?) They will work on non-magnetic materials (including even non-metals is some instances). The following URL takes you to their page for the visible light version (they also carry UV-light version & a UV flashlight) --

If the parts you want to inspect are a magnetic material (steel, for example) the dye pen testing will work on them. Magnaflux testing will be even more sensitive (on magnetic material parts). Magnaflux can even detect some flaws that haven't progressed all the way to the part surface. A disadvantage of Magnaflux is the cost of the equipment; you would probably have to go to a service. Some automotive machine shops have the equipment but might not want to deal with something like uprights.
