[DeTomaso] Half shaft issue

[Ron Graves]

Larry,
I have some half-shaft pieces.  Do you just need the little end yolk  flange part as opposed to either shaft part?  I will need to check which parts I have that are good.

Tough to see those sleeves in the assembled shafts, particularly in the car. I've removed them all intending to get a set of proper stock replacements (Pantera East lists them at $40./ea) but it looks like I'm going to need another end yoke section.

The notion of using stud and bearing retainer or some similar locktite product to secure the cap was also floated but I'm not to keen on that idea.
