Shortening shafts is easy, just sleeve and weld surely?

not quite, insert and weld, fishmouth the two sides and you'll have greater weld area and less chance of cracking straight round.

all the insert does is hold the two sides square and straight for you to weld them.

though the last one George did was just a chop, vee the ends, clamp into angle iron and weld up.

not had issue with a shaft running 200 lbft 200 bhp and R888's n the V6's, Tigger Dave at Satchell engineering has done some for rally and hillclimb cars running avon slicks and rally cut slicks with upwards of 280 bhp and 190 lbft without a problem too.
