    Removing 6" from each half shaft to accommodate the narrowed miata subframe

    [IMG]half half shaft by Ben Modified, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Made a fixture from a piece of heavy wall angle iron to hold the two sections of shaft in line. I beveled the cut ends and welded the two halves together. Then slid a collar over the weld and welded in the collar for extra strength.

    That's very nice work! That is weird they were that far off from side to side. Maybe their dies were wrong and they all are like that?

    Could be. There was so much room around the original tire that it really did not matter

    Might it be the fender was off a different year vehicle?

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    good thought, but the car body is completely welded together other than the hood, trunk and doors. A friend of mine has one also, I will have to measure to see if it is the same
