u bolts or straps
this question is probably fundamental knowledge, but I don't know and people at auto parts stores don't seem to know either. I got a driveshaft made and I'm looking for the piece to connect the rear u-joint to my 1330 yoke on the ford 9"diff. I took the measurements off the yoke for the guys to make the shaft (i.e.-distance between locating tabs, cap diameter). These were 3.625" and 1.125".
Should I be using u bolts or straps? Is this an option, or will only one work?
-
Generally not an option. If the yoke has threaded holes it's set up for straps, if they are just drilled it's set up for U Bolts.
-
ok, they are just holes.
now I know what I'm looking for

Get U-bolts for a 1330 U-joint. All 1330s have the same dimensions.
