[Chevelle-list] 12 Bolt yoke

[Dale]

I don't think there is a 'bigger size' of u-bolts.  The difference (I
believe) is with the strap/bolt you can't put a u-bolt through the yoke
because it's drilled for the bolt.  Hopefully the 12-bolt rear end will have
the straps/bolts necessary.  Currie Enterprises,
http://www.currieenterprises.com <http://www.currieenterprises.com/> , lists
"U-JOINT STRAP KIT FOR 1310 YOKE" at $6.95, part #CE-4058.  The picture
shown is u-bolts but it's a "sample image only".  I think Year One also has
them for $10.60, part #MG328 and are listed as "Type-1 U-joint strap kit.
Universal joint strap kits for models using Type-1 universal joints at the
rear axle. Includes straps and hardened bolts."

 

Or maybe someone has a pair lying around from an old project, :*)

All this U bolt/ Straps information makes me think about my situation.  My
'69 Malibu 307 had a 3 speed on the floor with a 10 bolt open rear.  It has
the U bolt.  

 

It's going back together as a 402 with a 4 speed and a 12 bolt posi.  Sounds
like I'm not going to be able to use the original U bolts.  Is that right??
Even if I use U bolts, I'll have to get the bigger size???
