[Fot] Solid U-Joint

[Tony Drews]

The Borgeson u-joints are the way to go.  One thing to be very 
cognizant of with these - unlike the stock U-Joints, the don't do a 
through pinch bolt with an interference fit - they use a big set 
screw instead.  You need to make sure the set screw hits an indented 
area and RED LOKTITE that sucker in place.  You do NOT want it falling out.
