i want to replace the stock U-Joint straps that hold the rear U-Joint to the pinion yoke with aftermarket ones.

i cant find them ANYWHERE. i figured the next best thing was brand new ones (and new bolts) from GM, so i went and got them.

moroso makes U-Joint "girdles", but none are available for the 10 bolt.

what do you guys think? has anyone seen beefier ones? i mean, maybe they are not necessary. probly not, considering that there are NONE available from the aftermarket that i have seen.

any info would be great. thanks.

try moroso

 

like i said in the original post...they dont make them for 10 bolts. which, doesnt make sense to me, but whatever.

any other suggestions?

If nooone here chimes in, might want to check some better LS1 boards too, like ls1tech.com. Some of those max effort 4th gen guys run/ran 10 bolts into the low 10s and 9s just for the power/weight savings.

 

i looked on camaroz28.com with no luck. i will definitely check the others though.

good call ...thanks for the advice.

it's be real easy to make some, if you can't find any start looking for someoen with a mill

 

i go to school forf mechanical engineering, and we have a hell of a shop on campus. i should see if i can get on the good side of some of the guys in there...

 

Find out who to talk to to get access to the shop yourself. Likely they'll just make you go through a brief instructional session and you're set. Usually it is intended for school work though, but you can figure out how to relate it I'm sure.

 

i made a lot of go kart parts in the shop when i was going to school. i went at nite when there were less people around and i was on the instructors good side, he even helped.
