You got it right- thanks. I use my manual mill like my
carpenter-grandfather used his jacknife. To make the u-joint holder, I roughed it in on the
mill, then used an adjustable hand-reamer followed up with a home-made burnisher
to get the right interference fit on the u-joint cups. I've now got the
necessary pieces roughed out to complete the other halfshaft, so we'll see
shortly if I can do this successfully twice in a row.
Hopefully, some commercial shop might try making these parts if they think
there's a market. I sure don't want to start cranking them out with the
time/effort these took! More to come on Judy's never-ending project Pantera- J
