Default Re: driveshaft pin

Brian, maybe a pin with free play,that is ,smaller than the hole,I thought the pins job was to locate the length of the shaft,and not take any of the drive,that’s why they break,
I have found that if you only use an original ford coupler they last a long time,the replacement ones the suppliers sell are way too soft.any shafts I modify I only use the original couplers,these are the 33/34 shafts to fit the 6 spline pinions,
Maybe with a bit of creative machining you could eliminate the pin,
