Re: Another U Joint question
The vendors sell a more modern ford U-joint used thru 1948, the one you show was factory for the model A. You could be driving an early car what is the serial #?

Re: Another U Joint question
Pedal shafts were made one inch for the RH drive cars and 3/4 for LH don't know why. I made mine from 1 inch stock and used big end (wrist pin) bushes

Re: Another U Joint question
Tks J,
I believe mine was built from parts and I do not have the serial number because I never saw the frame and it might not even have the same engine number. But thanks anyway. The engine is at the engineering works at the moment. Regards TKS Roscoe, Funny enough the LH/ RHD came to mind but I thought NAA NEVER, CANT BE. Thanks for the tip. Regards Chris Cape Town |

Re: Another U Joint question
It seems as if U joints have been out of stock for more than a year now. Any one know of a vender that might have, please. Or suggestions for a substitute unit.

I have nothing to do with Mr Pearson other than that I have purchased parts from him. My intention was simply to share information, just as your website does sir. May I ask, Why do you list your website at the bottom of every post you make? |

Re: Another U Joint question
J,
Mine still seems good and solid BUT the front part is cracked. It looks as if there is a washer between the gearbox output shaft and the front section of the U Joint which was not insetred correctly. I think the washer was sitting at an angle when the bolt was thightened, which caused the housing to crack. Apparently the vendors hadnt had any for a year. I suppose it could be welded up until I can get a new one. It is such a hugh job to replace it at a later stage, so I was hoping there was a later model I could use. Regards Chris Edited. In fact if you look closely at my first picture the one in post #3 you can see the crack where the through bolt tightens down. Last edited by Floats; 06-09-2015 at 01:04 AM.

Re: Another U Joint question
Hey Tom, you are correct. I thought it was part of the casting. I pried it off and the U joint is fine but the washer is cracked.
Thank you very much Tom. I am good to go. And thanks every one for your input. Regards Happy Chris Cape Town Last edited by Floats; 06-21-2015 at 05:12 AM. |

Re: Another U Joint question
That's a special thick washer with a tab to fit between the splines.
Do you have a spare, or can you order one? |
