[DeTomaso] u joints

[Will Kooiman]

Quellas kit has an allen screw and a jam nut.  Isn't that enough?  I would
think loctite is overkill.

I attached a link to the directions published by Flaming River. They include
drilling the holes for the allen screws AND using RED
Loctite.  While searching the Flaming River web sight I found that they also
make a u joint with splines and a pinch bolt instead of the allen screws
here is a
linkhttp://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products/c0005/s0007/FR2711
This one is 3/4 x 36 spine , someone posted that the correct size is 9/16x
36 spline I don't know which is correct. I guess we could ask Dennis Quella.
Flaming River also makes beautifull polished shafts 3/4" diameter and in
various lengths and will make them to order in 1/4" increments.
Here are the installation instructions
