Not if he has CV-Joints on them!

Clive Averill has a CV-Joint upgrade to replace Rotoflex couplers on cars so
equipped and I am led to believe that there is a kit from Canley Classics
but that is all I know about that one.  The one from Clive uses VW Rabbit
CV-Joints.

I'd guess he has the standard driveshaft found on all the Spits of that 
vintage.
There is no rubber boot, but I seem to recall that there is a threaded 
collar one
can coax off and apply grease to the joint.  It has been a while since 
I've worked
on one, most of my recent experience is with just the 2 U-joint shafts.
