Aren't we glad we all agree

I agree that although Woodward sell a weld on U joint using one isn't the best idea. That is why after researching it I bought the weld in splined ends from Woodward.

The completed splined end shaft on mine is light and strong and makes for easy servicing of the U joints in the future....

and of course controversy and a little drama which is what my thread is usually about.

The good thing about this forum and anybody's build thread is the chance to exchange ideas, learn from each other and point people to specialists like Woodward.

In this particular case "Knuckles" has added a new element I can use in his build threads replacing Intros which has run it's course.

Don't feel bad GW. When I bought my ATL fuel cell I was convinced I could run a Y fitting from both duck foot pickups to my main 10an line to my pump. Of all people, DG found out that was a bad idea and sent me of to ask ATL directly. I guess he knows more about fuel delivery than motor choice.

Now DG is free to shop for some race car u joints.
