I have read a few threads about these flex couplings and the mod to go to the double uni set up.
I really would prefer to keep a rag type joint for my car but nobody seems to sell them.
Any ideas where I could source one?
Nolathane is out due to extractor to joint clearance. Don't think the double uni set up is suitable for a road car.
Any ideas or comments would be helpful.
Interested to hear from guys who run the double uni joints.

I have seen them and called them today to see if they sold the disc by itself.

The rare spares one is a complete assembly, really the only part I need is the disc as the one I have is rebuildable.

Just thinking $140+ is a lot of coin when I need a $5 disc of rubbery raggy stuff.

Though I do commend rare spares for doing something for us, just some more options would be nice.

At this stage looks like the industry has again gone the "that is all there is...do you want it or not" route.

 

Any guys running the double uni joint set up able to shed some light on how their set up is and if it is suitable for road use?

That would be fine if you had have spoken up before Dave and Mike

But since they spoke first they get first :)

So you and Welby can have one each at this stage
