If you have any idea how to weld small bits like that solidly, I need your input. Memories form a distant past revolve around a car battery and a carbon rod electrode, but can't remember how it worked.
Are they aluminium or steel? if they're aluminium then you can solder the two parts together.
Alternatively, dont most manufactures make different length drive shafts(Shorter)??
