I understand what you are suggesting totally about buying/using the repro U-Joint ...and I agree with you 110% however what I was trying to imply was they were the sole supplier of the rebuild kits which we were using to rebuild original Universal Joints.


FWIW, I have made several of the repro joints work after about 30 minutes in the lathe. Not sure if the backorder is due to re-tooling or just supply chain delays.
