[Chevelle-list] 12 Bolt yoke

[Mike Holleman]

John, When I ordered the aluminum driveshaft in my Tempest from Dennys, I 
asked him about what type of mounts I should use. I was thinking maybe he 
would suggest one of the machined HP caps I had seen. He said  new u-bolts. 
I doubt there is much difference in strength between u-bolts and straps. 
Both do the job and within this post we have learned that "correct" may not 
even exist for this application.
Mike
