A related story,
A few months ago I was talking with Bob Sharp about one of his Datsun 2000
roadster racecars that I'm restoring for vintage racing. He told me that once
in a race, the front u-joint let go and came right up through the floor and
just missed his right leg! (Looks like a steel plate was installed shortly
thereafer.) With the 2000's 5-speed OD trans and 4.6 (and up) gears, that
drive shaft is really spinning.
BTW, anyone have any good/bad experience with composite drive shafts?
