Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 3d Posted 12/02/13 10:56 PM Share Posted 12/02/13 10:56 PM Isn't there also a difference between a built one and strengthened one? If not searching for huge power it can work out cheaper to have your tailshaft taken out and strengthened as opposed to a building a new one from scratch yea?Anyone had any experience using a strengthened one and a built one? Worth the extra $$ to go new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
