Two piece driveshaft?

Re: Re: Two piece driveshaft?

Splitting the angle worked well on Zaynes with the area we had to work with.

Josh's Blazer was another that we used He-man's bearing and had to split the angles on as well.

I worked on my midship shafts today. I took Ryan's advice and made them solid.

This is my redneck fixture to try to get it squared up and phased correctly.



Rear shaft



Front shaft.

Thanks man! I'm glad I posted here originally because you saved me a lot of trouble telling me to leave the slip out.

Re:

Does welding on that bearing housing not deform it enough to matter?
I was thinking about getting one for my buggy but was worried about welding on it.

I assume not, since lots of people seem to be running these with success.

I would think too much heat could definitely warp it. When I weld mine up I'm just gonna take my time and try to let it cool.
