There was an issue a while back with U-joints on the market being made incorrectly. They probably all come from the same place. I suspect the one you ordered will be incorrect. The better suppliers, such as Bratton pulled them from sale. If the one that broke on you was from that incorrect batch it is probably the reason for the failure. Your best bet is to find a used one that works. There are plenty around. I see them at swap meets all the time. A used one can usually be had for about $35. Tom Endy |

Re: The A will not move
I hope your friend appreciates the fact that the car broke in his driveway. It's a good car that leaves you at least within reach of a cold one.

Re: The A will not move
Bob, interesting thread with the final verdict. A few years ago I passed on a purchase of an A with your initial problem, good to hear it will be a reasonable fix.
Let us know how you make out with the available U-joints. |

It much be the market doesn't demand too much or too often? Still D-S U-joints in various parts/arrangements still show in their engineering data. I ultimately found my "mix & match" U-joint on a bottom shelf of a local Model A Vendor. "Where did you get this?" I asked seeing the 6 in and 10 spline out? "Oh I picked it up at a flea market somewhere." As others have said - U-joints are out there. Your best bet may be Bert's. Joe K

Re: The A will not move
Seem to recall there was an issue with the splines on some of the repos. If you to ahead with the one you bought, make sure it fits the splines. If it does not slide on and off easy, don't force it, return it.

Re: The A will not move
The same joint fits 28-48 Fords. Fred Wilner at Southside Obsolete has NOS Ford Ujoints. He is on the Ford Barn as barnfind08 and you can PM him. A phone call also works.
