Guys,
I'm installing my driveshaft and for some strange reason both my original and a replacement set of straps are not fitting. It's clear the straps are too wide for my rear differential yoke. The yoke measures 1 7/16" and the driveshaft straps are 1 9/16". In addition, the straps I ordered came without nuts, indicating to me that the factory yoke must have been threaded, but this yoke is not. I'm trying to be as correct as possible with this resto but I'm not going to pull the yolk off the diff. Not sure how this happened, guessing maybe the yoke got swapped when it went out to be restored, which, BTW, was done by one of the leading resto guys who advertises in the driveline. At this point I just want some straps or u-bolts that will work. Any advice?
Mike
