The pic. would suggest little or no weld penetration on that half shaft, so with a proper weld prep. and a welder who knows his biz. the repair will be fine, and would the orig.  have been had that been prepared and executed correctly. I have shortened a number of half shafts in a similar manner,i.e. by machining to to press fit and welding, with no probs. to date, Morrag.

I dont know i took it to a machine shop the have it shortend and welded.i said about sleeving it and they said it will be ok.
IT PROBERLY BROKE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN GIVING IT SOME STICK 0 TO 60 IN 6 SEC  Grin
AND USING THE GEAR BOX TO SLOW DOWN MAINLY TO TEST THE STEERING AND HANDLING IT DO SHIFT  Shocked
Any way thats history now. i cleaned it up and wound the MiG up and re welded it around the shaft. then i put a sleeve with a cut line through it over the shaft. cramped it in the vice then welded down the sleeve and around the ends.then drilled 6 holes three in each half about 10mm deep then filled them with welds.cleaned up and this is it
