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
