[TR] U-joints - which ones & how to prep

[Ted Schumacher]

Johnnie, we supply u-joints with grease fittings in the end of the 
cap.This makes a stronger joint than the style with the zerk in the 
middle- no extra hole drilled in the u-joint cross.And, very easy to 
grease. No need for longer zerk fittings that can break off or lubing 
the part then having to insert a plug. $21.95 each for TR3 - TR6 and 
$14.95 for Spit/GT6/MG  - Made in USA as a major bonus. Ted
