Or you could do the driveshaft like I did mine. The shop on 421 can make a US-style shaft for you as long as you have the adaptor plates like Jags That Run offer. Alternately, I'd guess SOMEONE in the US must have the Mercedes front shaft somewhere or we could ask our off-shore friends to see if they could dig one up.
