[DeTomaso] Rear upright removal, photo gallery

[Charles Engles]

Dear Asa,


                My opinion:

                One Pantera has Marino's greaseable rear upright shaft.

                 The other Pantera has Pantera Performance's greaseable rear 
upright.

                 Both were installed by the respective vendor.  Both 
installations are about 16-17 years old and both have over 25,000 miles on 
them.  Both seem to be working well.   I have not had them apart since they 
were modified.  I just grease them every year or two.  The cost was quite 
comparable on both.

                   In my opinion, they both work fine.  From your 
description of the Marino kit and the Byers kit and my experience,  I would 
buy Marino's.


                              IMHO,  Chuck Engles
