Is anyone using an aluminum driveshaft on their Cobra? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

Thanks

Cobra driveshafts are so short, I doubt that the difference in mass would justify the extra expense.

Lew, my flange to flange measurement was only 11 5/8", and remember two Universals need to be part of that so the actual shaft will be even shorter. I'd prefer good old steel.

Don't waste you time or money. You are talking about trying to save about a pound of weight.
