Who can guess what is this, i've spent 2 full days designing it, finding the material, drilling, tapping, machining it.

I presumed that someone will notice the two sets of bolt holes, and the locating grooved for the flange, It is an adapter plate, to convert from Guibo joints to u joint driveshaft, i looked at all the options and decided to use Giubo joints on bouth ends, when i went to buy the parts from a friend's parts store, my friend laughed and told me Guibo joint on the silver car you driving, will not last a week, so i ask around, and lot of new RWD cars have that problem, so new plan to reuse the origanal driveshaft, just to shorten the front part as needed, so look for a bolt on flange on the gearbox, no luck, then decide to make this adapter, used couple of CD's to make my bolt patterns, drilled and tap them by hand, then made it round on a lathe, i was in a rush so did not make a lot of photos, but you can see at the end had to rim the center hole a by a 0.2mm and it fits perfect
