OS Giken LSD Custom 300M Stub Shafts Anyone need them

[awhit17]

So, I recently acquired an OS Giken LSD and need a new set of stub shafts. I figured it would be as simple as calling OS USA and buying a new set. Turns out...not so much. OS USA told me they:

- Had nothing in stock
- Have no ETA or plan to have new ones made
- Probably wouldn't sell me a set if they had them in stock anyway.

It was a super warm and fuzzy conversation with the OS guy if you cannot tell. So anyway...I am starting to work with an industry vendor to have some made, however with some "improvements" where possible, and also made out of 300M for extra strength.

While I don't need a group buy, I wanted to extend the offer to anyone here to jump in on a run of these if/when I get everything ready. Pricing-wise I would expect this to land in the ~$1000 per set of shafts, maybe less if more people jump on board. This is more expensive than the ~$500 member Steve M on here was quoted for a new set from Unitrax (when they were in stock), but we also know that these shafts snapped on him.

The shafts I am working on will not be cheap, but will be better made and actually available for anyone who wants a set!

Out of curiosity, who is willing to make the stubs? Mark Williams comes to mind, but surely there have to be others out there capable of doing this type of work...

I was referred by a couple of people to B&J engineering in Arizona. I spoke with Mark Williams as well and they can do it. I’ve been working with Nate at B&J and he’s been great + they are set up to handle the low qty work that the Viper world requires.
