Are solid u-joints available in the small 7260 size? Also a conversion joint 7260 X 7290? When I put my 4.56 gears in I will need the conversion joint for the rear. Rick |

I turned my own cups for my 8" adaption, that covered both the size and the spread differences. Nearly any small lathe'll do the job. |

Both solid 7260 joint and 7260-7290 adapter joint exist. Call a local driveshaft shop, or good indep parts store, or call dennysdriveshaft.com. Lou |

I looked at Denny's and they do not list the solid one in conversion or 7260. Maybe I'll just call them. |

I got the adapter joint,but I was looking for the solid version. The joints with grease fittings will be fine with my automatic, but when I go to the 4 speed with slicks I was thinking it would add an extra measure of strength. Rick Just got a note from Denny's and they do not carry the solid ones I need. |

If you break a u-joint there is usually another issue. I had regular 7260's in my Valiant and never even wore one out. |

Ok, that is good to know. I was just guessing that the shock loads from the 4 speed launch would be a lot harder on everything than even a high stall automatic. Covalt |

I think you meant "Borg-Zilla"... Awesome. I agree you should not be taxing a good stock type 7260 joint. DI could probably break them, though...   Lou |

I think solid body u joints are something everybody talks about and nobody has. |

Solid u-joints are definitely not a good street piece either. |
