the plan is going with TG ones, and yes with a bit of die grinding they will fit, as they are quite larger i plan to bring the stub out with a spacer
from testing they seem to need 5mm either side to get the cv clearance
then just machine the end of the TG CV to suit the jimny and what ever hub is being used as they are longer than the jimny ones
If your spacing them out don't overlook that the pivot point of the cv needs to be perfectly in line with the king pins or you will kill axle seals and hub sleeves in double quick time.

the kit will be a bolt on kit, the only bit the customer would have to do is grind a small amount of the axle to get the CV to fit in but this is only a small amount
alot has changed since i started these shafts, i now have the tools to do the machining "in house" then i would just send the shafts of for treatments, this would keep the costs right down
my problem now is im too busy to use the machines i have, but ive got an old work colleague who is going to come and work for me but he is waiting to be made redundant first, and this wont happen until December
so i will probably end up testing the shafts (when they arrive) until the end of the year and have a batch made in the new year along with many other products!
