finding a custom made haft shaft

[tom000]

hello

need a bit of help and advise

my project 'electric puma' is on its way to be finished.

A problem i have is with the electric motor installed the haft shaft support has nothing to bolt on to.
Is there a way I can have a custom made haft shaft so it goes strait to the wheel and dosent need a support?
There is alot more room in the engine bay, no exaust pipes so the shaft can go in a strait line and wont clash into anything.

if you know any manufactures? any help would be great, thanks.

I had a talk over the phone with them and they said they can make what im asking.

so im going to buy a new driveshaft for the job, but i can't find one on ebay for a puma.

the measuring equipment i have isnt great.

does anyone know or could find out how long the drive shaft needs to be, the gearbox strait to the wheel?

I know the original right hand drive shaft is 0.9 meters.

would be a big help.
