I've finally installed the engine in the frame for
my 72 Ambo project.. and
I'm turning my attention to the driveshaft and
u-joint.

Question for the list: I have two u-joint
assemlies, both of which have a
slight.. but noticeable bit of slop. Splines are ok.
Is it false economy to
go ahead and use one of them? Moto Intl gets over
$200 for a new one. Same
question for the carrier bearing. It feels good, but
I have no idea how old
it is, and I think a new bearing goes for about $30.


Replace 'em both or keep 'em and drive carefully?
I know.. It's all money.

Thanks
