Hello!
As stated <and also, as I have spammed in the "wtb" section> - i require any information on the d/s for my MA70 !!! Its stuffed - apparently from a front ender, and cannot be balanced. (its out of phase badly or some such?)
Any options to what I can replace it with? Another driveshaft - or a good place to find one? (most wreckers laugh at the question of "how about an MA70 d/s?") 
Any information is greatly appreciated! - I start my new job on Monday and need my car - to drive to sites etc!!~! So im boned ! 
Thanks!

Take it to some one and get a new one made.
It can be one piece with no centre bearing.
They should be able to reuse your old yoke's to do it.

Take it to someone like Gibbs trucks and get a single peice made up as finding one would most likely cost more than getting one made up. Norbie or 7M-Brisbane can tell you the price, it's not too much like $250 or something..

I actually bought a used Hilux 2-piece shaft and had Gibbs shorten it to fit my MA61. This is cheaper than getting a custom shaft made because it comes with uni's, flanges etc. The rear flange will be the correct size for an MA70 but you'd have to swap the yoke if it's a turbo 5-speed (R154 transmission).
